Welcome to the Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood Association
By ordinance, the City of Spokane created the Neighborhood Association/Council program to improve communication and provide opportunities for citizens to participate in the civic process. The Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood is located in southwest Spokane and is full of friendly citizens. As a resident of Grandview-Thorpe, you have many opportunities to become involved in neighborhood events and decisions.
The Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood Association falls within Spokane City Council District #2 and is represented by council members Richard Rush and Jon Snyder. E-mail addresses for our council representatives are at the Email button on the left side of this page.
Any resident of the Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood can participate in the neighborhood association, and we encourage you to become an active member. Meeting dates are below. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. Come get involved and learn about your neighborhood!
