Live Local INW

Shoutout to our longtime Live Local INW businesses—we appreciate every one of you.

Check out Live Local INW—so many local, independent businesses to discover. Own an independent business in Eastern Washington? Signing up is free!

June is HERE and we are packed with things to do!

We are so excited to be tabling at TWO incredible Pride events this month! Come find us at Spokane Pride and Pride in Perry. At Pride in Perry, we're also hosting a Live Local INW market section featuring LLINW businesses and SIMBA members in a prime spot right out front — come say hi and show some love to these amazing local businesses!

And a reminder — Live Local INW is powered by Spokane Independent Metro Business Alliance, which means we also bring you workshops, resources, and one-on-one support for small and independent businesses.
