With all that downtown Spokane has to offer — the amazing Riverfront Park, restaurants galore and the STA's spiffy new City Line line — it's still a little surprising to find a family relocating from a South Hill family home to a city condo. In "Loft Living" (page 20), I talk with Heidi Duffy about the urban lifestyle she and her husband Frank specifically sought out.
Luckily for anyone living in Spokane, it's also easy to get out of town for some nature therapy. With more than 70 lakes within an hour's drive of Spokane, there's sure to be a good location to live your best "Lake Life." Inlander reporter Nate Sanford has generously dished info on some of the area's premium locations for human-powered water fun (page 8); check out six gems for paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing. We also have a delightful anywhere, anytime DIY lakeside picnic for enjoying time onshore (page 30). And we hit the road for a visit to a hopping food truck on the south shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene (page 40). It's even easier to access this Carlin Bay location by boat for some upscale gourmet fare.
And in our Lifestyle section (page 32), the always impeccably dressed Inlander Arts and Culture Editor Chey Scott shares her expertise on buying and wearing vintage clothing.
Cheers!
