By ordinance the City of Spokane created the Neighborhood Council program to improve communication and provide an opportunity for citizens to participate in the civic process.
Neighbors working together brought recognition from the City Council that our neighborhood council met the goals for becoming a Neighborhood Council. The Peaceful Valley Neighborhood council is one of the oldest Neighborhood Councils on the list of official Councils. The Peaceful Valley neighborhood benefited because our neighbors showed that they cared.
Residents (including renters) over the age of sixteen, and business or property owners in the Peaceful Valley neighborhood are encouraged to become an active participant in your neighborhood council (NC). Attendance at three out of four consecutive neighborhood council meetings qualifies you to vote on recommendations.
Peaceful Valley Neighborhood Council is a volunteer-run organization made up residents who live, work, or operate a business within the designated neighborhood boundary that meet regularly to maintain and improve the quality of life in Spokane, increase resident participation in local decision-making, and form an effective partnership between the City and neighborhood residents.
If you live, work or own property in Peaceful Valley Neighborhood, there’s a spot for you on the council. It’s not exclusive, and there are zero dues or fees.
The Peaceful Valley Neighborhood is in City Council District 3, represented by Council Members Zack Zappone and Kitty Klitzke, and is in Commissioner District 1, represented by Commissioner Chris Jordan.
We meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month – 6:00-7:30 p.m. (No meeting August and December), at the Peaceful Valley Community Center (214 N Cedar St.), see Neighborhood Calendar for details.
