A city is made up from the people who live there. It’s the sum of their experiences, trials, joys, victories and everyday life that makes a community what it is. One reason why I spend so much time driving around Spokane Valley and drink so much coffee (I haven’t slept since I got on this beat…) is because I want to meet the people who live here - and I need your help. 

I would like to do a series of short profiles of Valley residents for the blog. Who do you think I should profile? Your son’s preschool teacher? Your daughter’s soccer coach? Your neighbor? The guy who makes your coffee every morning? Shoot me an email at piah@spokesman.com with name and contact information and let’s see if we can rally some Valley people. I will swing by with my camera and my notepad and visit for a bit – then make you famous here on the Spokane Valley Blog.
