  • Kendall Yards 2
    Downtown Spokane Brownfields Walking Tour Snxw meneɂ Island (Canada Island) Riverfront Park Kendall Yards 2 4 1 3 The Gathering Place (Huntington Park) For many generations, Spokane Tribal families relied on river waterways for nourishment and medicinal and spiritual purposes, with the grand Spokane Falls serving as a gathering place for Spokane Tribal Ancestors. Now they share that gathering place—and the name of the tribe itself—with the modern, thriving City of Spokane. Through innovative redevelopment, areas that were once contaminated by industry have been revitalized into beneficial public spaces. Tribal history Native mythology ties humans to this place from the beginning of creation, though archeologists have evidence of human habitation reaching nearly to the end of the last Ice Age some 15,000 years ago. Successive waves of inhabitants developed one strand of what anthropologists call Columbia Plateau Culture, including the Spokane Tribe. Three major Spokane groups lived along the river—the Lower Spokanes, near the river’s connection with the Columbia River; and two other bands, the Middle and Upper Spokanes, who occupied lands along shorelines and tributaries as far east as Lake Coeur d’Alene. Spokane Tribal members hunted, fished, and collected roots and berries to feed their families throughout the year. Salmon ran up as far as the Spokane Falls and into the river’s tributaries. The Spokanes and other regional tribes gathered along the river annually to fish for salmon, a staple of their diet. They fished in several locations, including the Little Falls downstream near the Columbia, near the outflow of the Little Spokane River, at the mouth of Latah (Hangman) Creek, and at the Lower Spokane Falls, the last point at which the salmon could travel on the river.

  • Spokane's University District: Appendices
    APPENDIX A: SMART GROWTH IMPLEMENTATION ASSISTANCE VISIT Background on SGIA Communities around the country are interested in fostering economic growth, protecting environmental resources, and planning for development, but they may lack the tools, resources or information to achieve these goals. In response to this demand, the Development, Community, and Environment Division of the USEPA, launched the Smart Growth Implementation Assistance Program. This is a competitive program to provide technical assistance—through contractor services—to selected communities. This assistance is expected to improve the overall climate for infill, brownfields redevelopment, and the revitalization of non-brownfield sites—as well as deliver on other community and environmental goals. The City of Spokane was one of four communities selected to participate in the SGIA program in 2006. The city and its local partners asked EPA to help with the following tasks: • Develop an understanding of the Spokane market and potential for urban redevelopment in the University District; and • Identify strategies that the public and private sectors can use to create a strong neighborhood and increase development opportunities in the University District. After receiving this charge from the city, EPA worked with its contractor, ICF International, to assemble a team of national smart growth experts to assist the city. The Team visited Spokane January 17-19, 2007. Site visit activities included a two-day public design workshop, meetings with university and city leadership, and a final public presentation of the team’s findings. The workshop and presentation were open to the public and included a wide variety of participants including area residents, property owners, the business community, city and university leadership, local developers, and brokers.

  • University District Market Analysis 6/18/07
    APPENDIX B: UNIVERSITY DISTRICT MARKET ANALYSIS University District, Market Analysis Spokane, Washington June 18, 2007 Prepared for: The City of Spokane Economic Development Department INTRODUCTION A market and economic analysis was completed for the City of Spokane to estimate the demand for housing and employment uses in the University District The market and economic analysis will set the stage for developing a coherent vision and plan for the University District that will both take advantage of the market demand, and also allow greater economic development than would be possible without planning. Setting the Context The City of Spokane is located in Eastern Washington, approximately 20 miles from the Idaho Border. As the largest city in the region, Spokane is the largest employment center and is the area where many living in the region do their shopping. Over the past decade as vacant land available for office space began to dwindle in Spokane, cities outside of Spokane such as Spokane Valley and Liberty Lakes developed into job centers for service and technology jobs (Figure 1). Figure 1: Spokane County Source: Google Earth, 2007. The University District, located just to the east of the downtown, houses three universities, Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University and Washington State University (Figures 2 and 3). The district is divided into north and south by the Spokane River. The northern part of the district, where Gonzaga is located, is a distinctly separate housing and office market than the area to the south of the river. Figure 2: University District Boundaries Source: Google Earth, 2006 Figure 3: Central Spokane Source: Google Earth, 2006 The southern part of the University District is further divided into four sub-areas (Figure 4).

The outlet of Coeur d’ Alene Lake forms the headwaters of the Spokane River, which flows westerly to its confluence with the Columbia River (Lake Roosevelt). The major river in the Subbasin is the Spokane River, which runs 111 miles from the outlet of Coeur d’ Alene Lake to its confluence with the Columbia River. The major tributaries of the Spokane River listed from upstream to downstream include Hangman Creek (also known as Latah Creek), Little Spokane River, and Chamokane Creek (also known as Tshimikain Creek). In eastern Washington and northern Idaho there are seven dams on the Spokane River. The city of Spokane Water Department owns, operates, and maintains Upriver Dam and is licensed for fifty years (FERC license 3074-WA, 1981-2031). Avista Corporation owns and operates the other six hydroelectric facilities. The six dams (from upstream to downstream) include Post Falls in Idaho, Upper Falls, Monroe Street, Nine Mile, Long Lake, and Little Falls located in Washington. Five of the six dams owned by Avista were constructed and were operating between 1906 and 1922. Monroe Street Dam was initially built in 1890 (Avista 2002; Scholz et al. 1985) and then reconstructed in 1973.
