About Deer Park
Deer Park is a small northern Spokane County city of roughly 5,500 residents, about 22 miles north of downtown Spokane on US-395. A former railroad and timber town on the edge of the metro, it keeps a distinctly rural small-town character — a walkable Main Street downtown, larger lots, and ponderosa pine country in every direction — while serving as an affordable bedroom community for Spokane commuters and workers at the region's northern employers.
