It’s National Small Business Week, and at Live Local INW, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs, makers, service providers, and local shops that make Eastern Washington such a great place to live and work.

This week (and every day), make it a point to support a small business you love. Grab your coffee locally, try a neighborhood restaurant, shop independent, or give a favorite business a shoutout.
Choosing local means investing in a stronger local economy.

Drop a small business you love in the comments and share the places that make you happy.

You can also discover and support more local businesses anytime at https://hubs.ly/Q04fwW3q0.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! 📚

Independent bookstores don’t just sell books—they create space for community, ideas, and connection. If you’re out and about today, stop by one of these locally owned spots and pick something up:
Brused Books (Pullman)
Page 42 Bookstore (Spokane)
Aunties Books In The Square (Spokane)
2nd Look Books (Spokane)
Paperbound Used Books (Cheney)
Wishing Tree Books {Spokane)
Giant Nerd Books (Spokane)
Sandbox Bookstore and Games (Moses Lake)

Skip the mega sites (👀 Amazon) and support businesses that need it. Shopping local keeps dollars in our communities, strengthens our neighborhoods, and helps small business owners stay open.

Want even more local spots to support? Visit Live Local INW for a full directory of local businesses.
