Spokane
The city itself, including older neighborhoods such as the South Hill, the North Side, West Central, and Browne's Addition. Tall wood double-hungs are still common in the older housing. A quote there often has to say whether the frame stays. Permits inside the city go through the City of Spokane.
Spokane Valley
The city east of Spokane, along the valley floor. Houses run from mid-century ranches to newer subdivisions. Many openings are already vinyl. The useful detail in a request is still the same: count, floor, and whether the frame is solid.
Liberty Lake
The city east of Spokane Valley. Newer houses are a larger share of the streets than in the older parts of Spokane, which means more insert replacements and, in finished basements, more egress questions. The city has its own building department.
Cheney
Southwest of Spokane, and home to Eastern Washington University. The request form is for houses, not for campus buildings. Older homes near the center of town and newer homes toward the edges both show up. Permits in the city go through Cheney.
Mead
The unincorporated community north of Spokane, in Spokane County. Permits here go through the county, not the City of Spokane. Sloped lots in this part of the county often have a lower level, which is where an egress question usually starts.
Airway Heights
The city west of Spokane, beside Fairchild Air Force Base. This referral is for privately owned homes in town. Housing on the base follows the base's own process. West Plains lots are open to weather, so the U-factor on the label is worth reading. The city permits work inside its limits.
