Bioregion
Inland Northwest
Also known as: Columbia Plateau, Spokane, Palouse
The continental interior of the Pacific Northwest — east of the Cascades, climatically and ecologically distinct from the maritime Puget Sound and Willamette regions to the west. Includes the Spokane area, the Palouse wheat country, the Inland Empire, and the high steppe of the Columbia Plateau.
Why this entry
This bioregion enters [[directory|the directory]] as the anchor for Lilac City Harvest. Stub — meant to grow into a full bioregion write-up as more Inland Northwest-area listings join the directory.
What’s distinctive
Replace this section as the bioregion’s directory presence thickens. Aim to cover: the geological/ecological signature, the cultural-memory layer (pre-colonial, settler, contemporary), the keystone institutions and land trusts already at work, and the through-line that ties listed businesses to the place itself.
Stub status
This page is intentionally minimal. As Inland Northwest listings accrue in the directory, expand into the same template the [[poconos]] entry follows: ecological detail, Indigenous history, institutional ecosystem, distinctive species and habitats, and the cultural-economic dynamic the directory’s operators are responding to.

- Lilac City Harvest bioregion on file likely wrong — Spokane Valley is east-side Washington, part of the Inland Northwest / Columbia Plateau, not Puget Sound
