Spokane’s growing University District – a combination of universities, research and commercialization organizations, the medical district, mature residential neighborhoods, and the Spokane River, is attracting a critical mass of top students, staff and faculty, cutting-edge researchers, and creative entrepreneurs – all of which are the catalysts for growth in the technology and health care industry, and overall economic prosperity for the city and the region.

The University District offers opportunities to address economic development issues, urban growth, environmental restoration, transportation, and affordable housing needs. This premier location provides a unique opportunity to tightly weave Spokane’s urban fabric with the higher education and health care industries into a diverse and powerful economic engine of the 21st century. The University District encompasses hundreds of businesses clustered around the campus homes of Eastern Washington University (EWU), Gonzaga University (GU), and Washington State University (WSU) at the east end of downtown Spokane.
