Living in Spokane Valley, WA

Native American tribes that were part of the Salish group were the original inhabitants of the land that would one day become Spokane Valley; and they thrived here on camas root, sweet berries and tasty salmon flesh for thousands of years. The first European settlers who came to the area in the mid 1700s were fur traders, who quickly set up trading posts with the local residents.

While the salmon are not quite as plentiful today as they once were, Spokane Valley continues to thrive and remains a popular area for employment. Some of the top employers in the area include Spokane Public Schools, which has more than 3,000 full time employees, as well as the Fairchild Air Force Base and the Deaconess Medical Center. Residents of Spokane Valley apartments are also minutes away from the educational opportunities available at Gonzaga University and Whitworth University, both located in Spokane.
