Welcome to the Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood Association
The purpose of this web site is to provide information about the Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood Association and its activities. You may contact the GTNA officers at grandviewthorpe@hotmail.com.
The Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood Association (GTNA) is an organization for people who live in, or own property in, the portion of southwest Spokane that is west of Highway 195 and south of Interstate 90. GTNA was formed in 2005. Our neighborhood previously was part of the Thorpe-Westwood Neighborhood Association which included both our neighborhood and adjacent areas outside the Spokane city limit. In 2005 the Spokane City Council voted to provide neighborhood services only to citizens inside the city limit. Thus, GTNA was born. We are now a part of the Spokane Neighborhood Services program.
We welcome participation in GTNA activities by all residents and property owners within our boundaries. GTNA gives us opportunities to get to know our neighbors, exchange information relevant to the neighborhood and city, and engage in activities that keep our neighborhood a wonderful place to live.
Our neighborhood is part of Spokane City Council District #2. E-mail addresses for our council representatives are under the “Contacts” tab at the top of this page.
Go the “Documents” tab above for meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and other documents for the neighborhood and the city.

GTNA Membership
GTNA membership is open to anyone who is at least 16 years of age and resides in or owns property within the boundaries of the Grandview-Thorpe Neighborhood.
Neighborhood Clean-up
The GTNA organizes neighborhood clean-up events. We always have one in the spring, and also try to have one in the fall, if funds allow. Our events are dumpster roll-off events that take place at Grandview Park on 17th Ave & D Street.
Trails Committee
The Trails Committee works to maintain and improve the neighborhood’s trails. It has worked on the Fish Lake Trail and was instrumental in improving the it. Now the committee’s focus is on the Trolley Trail by securing additional land to extend the trail all the way from Assembly Road to 16th Ave, where it can connect to the Fish Lake Trail.
Community Assembly
The Community Assembly includes representatives from each neighborhood, members of the city council, and city staff. The group meets monthly to discuss issues of city-wide interest. Functions of the CA include fostering communication between the city administration and the neighborhoods, making recommendations to the city administration, and promoting citizen participation in city governance.
