Hey there!

We're so glad you're here.

SpokanePlanner is a collaborative blog of homegrown expert insights into one of the best regions to live in the USA.

SpokanePlanner launched in late February of 2015 as the passion project of a local urban planner.

In the early years, most of our content was focused around Spokane as a market center, its urban design, and economic development ... not too worried about whether people would actually read it—but more focused on the joy of writing about this amazing place we call home.

The beauty of it all is that our readers get the honest perspective from a home grown expert that is not beholden to the dysfunctional etiquette of local Spokane politics.

These days, SpokanePlanner influences about 100,000 people a year—and we're on a mission to be a valuable one-stop resource for newcomers in their move to Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho.

From navigating real estate in your desired neighborhood, to local businesses, to community events, and helpful guides—SpokanePlanner is growing fast and has a ton of exciting things to come. Stay tuned :)
