Mt. Spokane, one of our community’s most valuable natural areas has been under constant pressure by development and logging. Today, the mountain won a reprieve. The Spokane County Department of Building and Planning decided to withdraw its permit that authorized logging on the western part of Mount Spokane State Park. This decision will help prevent the further fragmentation of the remaining old-growth forest on Mt. Spokane . It will also preserve important Biodiversity Areas and Corridors, Riparian zones, and Moose, Elk, and other wildlife habitats. Below is the press release issued today by The Lands Council and here is a link to their website.

About Spokane
Spokane is the major city in Eastern Washington. For a century, it has been a cultural, economic, and political hub of the Inland Northwest. It was once a railroad town. However, the trains are now few. Our economy has become more centered on light industry and the information economy.
We held the World's Fair in the 70s, and we still host Hoopfest, Pigout in the Park, and the Lilac Festival. If you like small town's that feel big. You will like Spokane.
