One Lakeside, one of the most controversial Coeur d' Alene construction project's almost seemed to have disappeared for a time. Mostly due to lawsuits filed by condo owners in the nearby Coeur d' Alene North condo building saying this new tower would block their view of Lake Coeur d' Alene.

But the legal issue seem to be over now and we're told One Lakeside will start construction later this year.

Two California based tech firms open offices in Spokane Valley

Is Spokane Valley becoming the new Silicon Valley? Well sadly not even close... yet. Because in recent months two of those highly coveted tech firms have opened up new offices in Spokane Valley. Here is a look at who they are and where they can be found-

New Resturant Openings & Closings - Apr. 28th 2014

Like usual, I'm way behind on getting all of you up to date on all the new restaurants and the like opening soon in the Spokane / Coeur d' Alene. So, here are some highlights...

Windermere Real Estate/ City Group to move to Kendall Yards

While we wait on what retail shops may open soon in the newest mixed-use at Kendall Yards ( under construction now across from The Inlander's offices ). I figured I'd share another business that's also making the move soon into the up and coming Kendall Yards urban development just north of Downtown Spokane.

Z Nation, SyFy network show to bring jobs, work for local production company.

The zombie's are coming to Spokane, head for the hills!

OK, so we'll probably all be fine with these zombies. In fact these zombies will actually be welcomed, that's because they'll bring jobs and a boost to the local economy. Because the zombies are part of a new TV show called  " Z Nation ".

New Bar / Club Openings & Closings - April 22nd 2014

The Bistro Box opening The Fresh Plate market in Spokane

One of the more well known and yet one of Spokane's newest food trucks is expanding it's presence in Spokane with the opening of a new sister business in North Spokane.

Former Spokane Valley Marie Calendar's to become...

Northtown Mall is home to another new business. And, while that might be newsworthy alone it's the uniqueness of this new business that makes this issue big news for the mall.

We've all be seeing that large new medical complex going up along I-90 just East of the Spokane Valley Mall for the last several months. But recently, since most of the work is now being done on the interior there hasn't been too much new to see there. But by the end of this month all of that will change as the all new, Providence Medical Park at Spokane Valley is set to open to the public on April 28th.

INK Art Space opens in Downtown Spokane

Opening soon as non profit organization, INK Art Space, technically doesn't fit the rules of Inland Northwest Business Watch, where we try to stick with new businesses. But INK is well worth the mention because it's bringing something new to the city, and something that will surely boost Spokane's growing creative economy.

All signs point toward a new Rosauers Supermarket at Suncrest

It's not an official word, but in my personal opinion I think this recently obtained info, Rosauers will be opening a new grocery store soon in Suncrest, just Northwest of Spokane. And that new grocery might be open before the end of the year.

Like before, I'll refer to a source more familiar with the Suncrest / Nine Mile Falls area for this story. So, here is the news from the folks at the Nine Mile Falls News & Info blog ( not affiliated, with Inland Northwest Business Watch )
