We spent the day in the SoDo District, Downtown and West Downtown and in 5 short hours we were able to find every Christmas gift we set out to find. The best part is that we spent all of our season’s dollars in Spokane with local merchants. We are not saying this to brag but rather to point out how easy it was to support our friends’ businesses. It was amazing to find that we actually spent less this year and have more to show for it! You can do it as simply as we did. Go out and meet the merchants that are supporting this community.

We are firm supporters of the Buy Local movement and have been for several years. We know that every dollar we spend in the local economy goes to support our neighbours and friends. They will in turn support other local businesses and non-profits. Thus keeping the money circulating in our market where it is needed so much. We are proud to call Spokane home!
