Links to interesting businesses, organizations, and events, in Spokane and Kootenai counties.

Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, 30 miles apart on Interstate 90, are the largest towns and county seats of neighboring Spokane County, Washington, and Kootenai County, Idaho. Coeur d'Alene fronts on a large lake of the same name, with a large city park with lots of shade trees and an adjacent public beach. The Spokane River, the surface outlet of Coeur d'Alene Lake, flows through Spokane, over falls in the city center, impressive during spring runoff and surrounded by another large park, and eventually joins the Columbia west of Spokane. The area is in the western fringe of the pine-forested foothills of the Rockies, on the east edge of the Columbia Basin sagebrush steppe biome, and has a semi-arid climate, with four distinct seasons and moderate snow in winter.

County census numbers above include the city population.

Caveats: I'm not trying to include personal pages here. I don't usually link to what I consider to be "token pages," that is, pages with no significant content.

When I was a kid people here used to say Inland Empire. I think that mostly changed to Inland Northwest after Seattle folks started saying "Ingrown Empire." People probably identify Inland Empire more readily now with the Riverside and San Bernardino area in Southern California. Ours is bigger in area than theirs, however, and more geographically, economically, and politically distinct.
