We have so much to celebrate when community comes together! SO MUCH GRATITUDE for the youth & leadership at River City Youth, Master Gardeners of Spokane County - WSU, Floralia and North Monroe Business District - and our neighbors and friends who showed up to help with planter cleanup on Monroe at the Spokane Colleges AEC.

Not only did the youth beautify this lovely patch of Monroe Street with w**d removal and mulching, paving the way for an eventual monarch pathway (YAY!!! 🧡🦋) but they totally rocked their new Volunteer T-shirts! 🤩

We can hardly wait for the collaborations to continue, and for Route 4 to gain some more exciting enhancements in the weeks ahead.... cheers to gardening, glow-ups, and good times shared! More soon.....

Shout out to the City of Spokane - Municipal Governmentcrew for sprucing up our North Monroe crossings! This is a detail of maintenance - less often celebrated - especially in a season of recent ARPA investments and shiny new positive impacts - like that sweet banner in the background! 🛸📸

So, we just want to say WE SEE YOU - thank you, Streets Dept, for still caring about the little things that keep our district brighter & safer on a regular ol' average day! 😎✨

Hey, y'all! Cheers to 20 years!🎉 The North Monroe Business District is celebrating A LOT this summer, as we wrap up initiatives galore that were made possible by ARPA funding, as well as excitedly growing an engaged community of volunteers who deeply care about making our district and neighborhood better!

Did you know we were founded as a nonprofit back in 2006?

NMBD went dormant a while, but was revived in 2016 by passionate business neighbors!🧡

From public art projects, to clean up and capital improvements, to advocacy and placemaking - what a year, what a couple of decades! Can't wait to see how we grow & change next. ✨

YOU CAN JOIN US, TOO! We would love to welcome you as a volunteer, friend, or neighbor. 🌞 DM us and we'll loop you in to all the fun (like our upcoming Member Mixer).

What a weekend! 🧡 We are so grateful for the blue skies, the time with neighbors & friends, and the chance to celebrate summer in Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood by swing dancing with Rockabilly Space Force! The North Monroe Business District was a proud sponsor of the concert along with our friends at Spokane City Credit Union (SCCU)! Sunglasses, district maps, and farmers' market fliers were handed out to many - along with SCCU tennis balls & bandanas for the pups! 😎🎉🐶🐾
