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.

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.

All signs point toward a new Rosauers Supermarket at Suncrest

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 )
