The Inlander is Spokane, Washington’s locally owned, independent and award-winning urban news weekly. New print issues are distributed for free every Thursday at nearly 1,000 locations throughout the Spokane-Coeur d’Alene region; it’s also available online at Inlander.com. Inlander also publishes Inlander Health & Home, a bi-monthly glossy lifestyle magazine, and Annual Manual, a regional guidebook published every September. Two glossy city guides, Shop Local (October) and The Menu (April) connect our active readers with the region’s best restaurants, coffee shops, bars and retailers. Our vibrant website and targeted emails, Entree, Weekend Countdown and Sneak Peek, help Inlanders know what shows, concerts, events and new restaurants are coming to the region. Inlander Winter Guide, published every October, highlights the extensive ski destinations in the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies with an extensive distribution network throughout the West Coast. In addition to our award-winning publications, Inlander produces high-caliber events, like Inlander Restaurant Week. Restaurant Week features more than 100 restaurants offering three-course menus for a set price and has become one of the most anticipated community events of the year. Since 1993, Inlander has been an independent, family-owned media outlet. The Inlander was founded on independence — on the unwavering commitment that free and independent journalism helps a community thrive, that local ownership is best, and that, in the end, a paper belongs to everyone. The Inlander is our name, but it’s also an identity, a frame of mind, a people and a place, bound by geography and core community values. The people of the Inland Northwest, we are all Inlanders.
