Celebrating Excellence in Spokane's Built Environment
This distinguished initiative aims to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements in Spokane's built environment.

the program honors visionary individuals, teams, and projects that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to excellence in their respective fields.
