Proud of Spokane Valley

Sun., Oct. 22, 2017

As a resident of the Spokane Valley for 86 years, I have never been more proud of our city.

Our new City Hall is an example of good planning for future generations. The price of the building came in under the bid and in less time than expected. The quality of construction is beyond expectations. Most importantly, it is functional for staff and the public to conduct business.

I want to compliment our present city council, management staff, and employees for a job well done. Spokane Valley can boast of good roads, safe environment, excellent schools and a balanced budget.
