About Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood is one of the cornerstone neighborhoods of Spokane, rich in tradition, history, and wonderful citizens! As a resident of Emerson-Garfield, you have many opportunities to become involved in neighborhood events and decisions. If you are not yet a resident of Emerson-Garfield, we encourage you to consider our neighborhood as place of residence. Each neighborhood is represented by a neighborhood council that falls within one of three Spokane City Council Districts.

Emerson-Garfield (EG) Neighborhood is in Spokane City Council District #3 and is represented by Councilwoman Nancy McLaughlin and Councilman Steve Salvatori. Any resident of the EG neighborhood can participate in the neighborhood council, and we encourage you to become an active member of your neighborhood. The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council (EGNC) meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Corbin Senior Center (827 W. Cleveland), except in July and January. We open our August meeting up with a neighborhood picnic in either Emerson or Corbin park and our December meeting includes a holiday potluck.
