The Spokane Valley is a valley along the Spokane River in the U.S. state of Washington.

The valley is home to the cities of Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake, as well as the town of Millwood (all of which are suburbs of the city of Spokane). The valley is bounded on the north and south by the Selkirk Mountains, on the west by Spokane, and on the east by the Rathdrum Prairie at the Idaho state border.

Mica Peak, located south of the valley, is the southernmost peak in the Selkirk Range. The mountain, along with surrounding peaks, separates the Spokane Valley from the Palouse.[2]

The Valley contains part of the Spokane Valley–Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.

Climate

Most of the valley is classified as a Mediterranean Climate (Köppen Csa), however the western slope of the Saltese Uplands closely border on a semi-arid climate (Köppen Bsk).
