WE WORK TO PROTECT & RESTORE THE SPOKANE RIVER WITH COMMUNITY CONNECTION
The Spokane River drying up for 1.5 miles in the summer of 2025 was a seminal event in our regions history. Answering why the river went dry is proving more elusive as we enter the next summer of low rainfall that followed historically low snowpacks which usually feed our rivers. Luckily for us, many people love the Spokane River and want to help. A unique partnership with Spokane Community College is leading the way to understanding the system.
If you have been following the conversation about data center development in Spokane, you may be wondering: what is happening, and what can I do to help shape the future of these projects in our community? In this post, we share an update on where you can make a difference and what we are expecting in the coming weeks.
Join Spokane Riverkeeper July 10th for a flat water full moon paddle! Bring your own boat, either a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, and float with us from the parking lot at the UW Medical School, and float approximately .5 miles downstream and back under the Buck Moon. While we float, our team will be available to share insightful information about the local ecosystem, river history, and our work on the river along the way.
Join Spokane Riverkeeper and community members at the Spokane River to witness low flows firsthand and learn why protecting the river’s future depends on protecting its flow. After a section of the river ran dry last summer, we’re gathering to see current conditions, raise awareness, and stand up for the future of the Spokane River.

After years of showing up for the Spokane River community, organizing hundreds of cleanups, and helping people build a deeper connection with the river we all love, we are celebrating an important transition: Liv is moving on from her role as River Cleanup Lead at Spokane Riverkeeper to begin an exciting new chapter. While we are sad to see her leave this role, we are incredibly grateful for everything Liv has given to Spokane Riverkeeper, our volunteers, and the river itself.
