SPOKANE, WASHINGTON
Strategy and operations consulting in Spokane.
The commercial and medical center of the Inland Northwest, serving eastern Washington and northern Idaho with hospitals, a utility headquarters, metals and metering manufacturers, and Fairchild Air Force Base.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Spokane.
Health care is the largest sector, with Providence Sacred Heart and MultiCare hospitals serving patients from a wide rural region, supported by Washington State University's medical school in Spokane. Avista is headquartered downtown, Itron, the metering technology company, is based in Liberty Lake, and Kaiser Aluminum runs its Trentwood rolling mill in Spokane Valley. Fairchild Air Force Base, home to a KC-135 tanker wing, and distribution along I-90 add to the base, while lower costs draw some Seattle-area residents and remote workers.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Spokane management teams.
Businesses here sit on a state border with different tax systems: Washington has no personal income tax but higher sales and business taxes, while Idaho taxes income, which affects where owners live and where firms locate. Health care employers compete for clinical staff across a large rural service area. Manufacturers deal with rising Washington labour and regulatory costs and must decide what work to keep in-state.
