Situated less than a half file from Interstate 90, the neighborhood of Peaceful Valley is bordered by Spokane River. This provides a lovely backdrop of trees, water, and wildlife.
The river also gives the residents several forms of outdoor recreation. These include bird watching, photography opportunities, and some of the best fishing available. People who enjoy fishing, particularly fly fishing, love this location. This sport is also year around, and the river provides some of the most productive winter fly fishing to be found anywhere. Spokane river, and the city of Spokane, both got their names from a tribe of American Indians, living here for thousands of years.
Peaceful Valley also contains Glover Field Park. This park has playgrounds, baseball fields, and picnic tables. The many large trees add to the tranquil feeling of the park.
Coeur D’Alene Park is about a half mile from Peaceful Valley and there are other area parks within a mile. One of these is Riverfront Park, which borders the river, as the name implies. Riverfront park lies just beyond the boundaries of Peaceful Valley.
Shriners Hospital for Children, Spokane, is also approximately a half mile from the neighborhood. This hospital provides orthopedic, burn care, and other specialized treatment for children under 18 years of age.
This neighborhood has a zip code of 99201.
The abundant trees and plants found throughout the neighborhood give it a great natural feeling. They are mostly tall firs, so they are green all year long. Between the firs and the nearby river, wild animals set Peaceful Valley apart as being a remarkable place, and the rich Indian past makes it an historic one. What’s more, this community is about two miles from both Gonzaga University and Spokane Falls Community College.
