LIFE. WE ONLY GET ONE SHOT AT IT.

Ask yourself — between traffic, cost of living and everything required to make ends meet — do the moments that make up your life include enough of the stuff that matters? Every day, businesses, artists, elected officials and cultural leaders are building a more ambitious, vibrant, & compassionate community in Spokane.

People used to think you could have it all in Washington. In Spokane, you still can.
Heading west to the Evergreen State used to promise a better way of life. From snow-capped mountains to lush forests, pristine rivers and plentiful lakes—not to mention four distinct seasons to enjoy it all—Washington was a beacon of livability. Relatively untamed and reasonably uncrowded, it was a place where a person with a dream and an ounce of ambition could make an honest living without compromising quality of life.

While Seattle and other large metropolitan areas are still special places, locals have to work hard to afford a lifestyle that hardly exists anymore. And those living on the outskirts and working in the city are subjected to some of the longest commute times in the country. These trends have people looking elsewhere for a better way, and they’re finding it in Spokane where affordable housing, short commutes, and a strong job market welcome you. It’s a city surrounded by nature and bathed in sunshine and possibility. Spokane offers short and non-stop flights to west coast metropolitan areas. You can enjoy the best things about sports, entertainment and business in the same or less time it would take commuting.
