About Us
We are people, just like you, that want to make our neighborhood a better place to live, work, relax, and belong. Anyone, aged 16 and older, can become a NWNC member as long as they are a resident, own real property, or own a business within our neighborhood boundaries. Voting rights are given and maintained by attending any two meetings in a twelve-month period. If you live, work or own property in Northwest Neighborhood there’s a spot for you on the council. It’s not exclusive, and there are zero dues or fees.
Northwest Neighborhood Council is a volunteer-run organization made up residents who live, work, or operate a business within the designated neighborhood boundary that meet regularly to maintain and improve the quality of life in Spokane, increase resident participation in local decision-making, and form an effective partnership between the City and neighborhood residents.
The Northwest Neighborhood is in City Council District [3] and is in Commissioner Districts 1 & 5.
