Thorpe Land Saved for Parks | Spokane News

A once-threatened 200-acre Thorpe property in Spokane is now headed for public ownership after the state’s Board of Natural Resources reversed course from a developer deal. Fueled by community and environmental opposition, the land will be preserved for rare wildlife and plants while expanding park access for the underserved Grandview-Thorpe neighborhood. Though the transfer is approved, it still needs $30 million in state funding — ranked fifth among six projects — pending legislative approval in the upcoming session.
