West Hills Neighborhood Council is a volunteer-run organization made up of residents who live within the designated neighborhood boundary that meet regularly to maintain and improve the quality of life in Spokane, increase resident participation in local decision-making, and form an effective partnership between the City and neighborhood residents.
Anyone who lives or works in Nevada Heights is encouraged to attend. There are no dues or fees for membership. Attending three meetings in a five-month period brings voting rights. Please join us!
The West Hills Neighborhood Council is in City Council District 1 and is in County Commissioner District 1 & 5.
Please contact WHNC99224@gmail.com to request to be added to the Neighborhood email list and receive information on meetings, neighborhood events and much more.
Note: Agendas are sent to our email list 7 days prior to scheduled meetings. If you have a concern that you would like to discuss, please email the address above to submit your request at least 10 days prior to meeting date.
West Hill Neighborhood Council meetings are at 6pm to 7:15pm on the second Tuesday of even-numbered months. Meetings are held at the Finch Arboretum Woodland Center at 3520 W Woodland Blvd.

If you only want messages from nearby neighborhood you can go to your profile, click on the settings button and control some of the messages that you receive by updating your preferences.
What happens in the neighborhood affects us all. Please take the time to calendar the meetings and bring information, input and/or ideas.
WHNC encourages all of our residents to be active participants in making our neighborhood a safe and inviting place to live, work, and play! Please report any suspicious or illegal activity, camping, dumping, parking overstays, and fires to MySpokane 311 (City concerns can be filed by app or phone), Code Enforcement, Crime Check (County concerns), or Emergency services.
WHNC can further support our neighbors of West Hills, after reporting your concern to the appropriate agency – please reference this PDF to markup and report any incidents. Reports may be filed with the Neighborhood Council, we can support residents with following up on cases and reports for enforcement.

We live in a unique part of Southwest Spokane close to downtown and yet adjacent to many natural areas. There is nearby access to both I-90 and Highway 195 as well as the Spokane Airport. We have Finch Arboretum, High Bridge/People’s Park, High Bridge Disc Golf Course , Spokanimal’s High Bridge Dog Park, and beautiful Indian Canyon Golf Course. Palisades/Rimrock/Indian Canyon Conservation Area has walking and riding trails and views of the city and Mt. Spokane. There is nearby access to Riverside State Park with trails and views of the Spokane River. We are also the gateway to Fish Lake Trail and the Centennial Trail is also close by, both paved for cycling, walking, rollerblading, dog walking and in the Winter cross country skiing. We have Whittier Neighborhood Park with a playground, picnic tables and tennis court, basketball court and baseball diamond.
We hope that you care about our neighborhood and will attend meetings and participate in neighborhood events. This website is a resource to keep you informed. For Meeting notes, Bylaws and other documents are stored under the Document Tab on the Home page.
