Some neighborhoods have it made in the shade – and some don’t
By Shawn Vestal, Spokesman Review
It was 109 degrees on a Wednesday afternoon in Hillyard.
Sierra Delgado, her aunt and her kids were in the front yard, trying to find a bit of relief in an above-ground pool and the dim shade of a Russian maple.
“We wouldn’t survive out here without this tree,” Delgado said, sitting in a lawn chair under the maple. “The pool’s in the direct sun, but us adults usually sit here in the shade. It helps.”

TLC staff, the City of Spokane, and volunteers planted twenty-five new street trees in the West Central neighborhood on Friday, April 23rd as part of SpoCanopy's goals for increased tree canopy cover. The trees were planted with city arborist assistance, at no charge to residents. Thank you to Avista and Townshend Winery for sponsoring this project!
