Spokane International District

Posted by Rick Hosmer on May 05 2009| 2 Comments

This morning I attended the launch of the Spokane International District. The event was held at the Bay Market on East Sprague in Spokane. About 60 people attended the event, including neighborhood activists, business owners, city staff and elected officials.

The Spokane International District is an area of town that is going through a renaissance. International shops and restaurants are moving into the area, and a dedicated group of people are helping to make living and doing business there easier, better and more successful.

I attended the event at the invitation of Councilman Mike Allen, who is spearheading the development of the district, along with partners Impact Capital and snap! Councilman Allen asked Klündt | Hosmer if we would assist with the development of a visual identity for the district. I came to get a better sense of the neighborhood and meet the business owners and investors who are making things happen.

After the presentation, everyone was invited for refreshments at One World Spokane. If you have not visited this restaurant at 1804 E Sprague, then get over there soon. This is a non-profit organic community kitchen where you can choose your own portions and set your own price for what you eat. If funds are short, you can even exchange an hour of volunteer work for a meal. An awesome concept, and a really great place to have a great lunch or dinner. If you want to experience a one world, very unique spirit, this is the place to go.

Klündt | Hosmer is excited to see East Sprague blossom as the Spokane international District and is happy to help visually brand the neighborhood.
