Big City. Small Town.
The number one thing people love about Spokane is that it’s a big city that feels like a small town.
No matter how big we get, who moved here from where, or how long you have been here, we want to keep this big city feel small.

Instead of the weird thing we do where we half smile with the corners of our mouths walking past someone in the neighborhood, say “hi!”
Pay for the coffee or a portion of the order for the person behind you at the drive-thru! You never know how long these lines of paying it forward can get.
Linger. When you feel like a conversation is going long with a chatty neighbor, remind yourself that neighbors are why we love our homes! Take the time to get to know each other.
Play “6 degrees of Spokane” when you meet someone new, figure out how you’re connected, and you might make a friend of a friend just a friend.
