About Rockford
Rockford is a small southeastern Spokane County town of roughly 500 residents on WA-27, about 28 miles from downtown Spokane at the edge of the Palouse. Rock Creek runs through town, and its compact historic downtown — church, park, and early-1900s commercial buildings — gives it a classic small-town main-street feel. Freeman High School sits here, making Rockford a school hub for the surrounding valley.
