Meet on Monroe

We hope to see you all at the Emerson-Garfield Farmers' Market this Friday (June 26) for Monroe Day!

Monroe Day is an annual neighborhood tradition that brings North Monroe Business District businesses into the market, strengthening neighborly connections and awareness of the awesome enterprises up and down Monroe! We'll be debuting our new district map & promoting upcoming events - don't miss it!

The market is held in Emerson Park, which is one block west of Monroe at our district's north end. It's a summery, shady, delightful way to wind down your week.

The cherry on top is that cherries 🍒 are in season! 😎

Check out the newest eats in the neighborhood! 😋

Named after the traditional Egyptian pie, Feteers puts the flaky, pizza-like dish front and center Chef Ahmed Hamam grabs a shiny disc of dough and begins rolling it out. Then, in a motion reminiscent of pizzamakers, he lifts the pliable circle and gives it a

🍏 North Monroe Business District is a proud "Golden Apple Sponsor" of our neighborhood farmers' market. Don't miss Monroe Day at the Market, June 26th!

Summer 2026 event support is partially funded through the City of Spokane - Municipal Government Neighborhood Business Districts Grant, administered by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation ✌️👽

Today we celebrate our neighbor, friend, and former NMBD Co-Chair (2021) - Kim Kelly, CEO of Christ Kitchen!

Kim was recognized by Providence health system as the recipient of the 2026 Sister Peter Claver Humanitarian Award, which recognizes individuals who embody compassionate leadership and a deep commitment to serving others.

🌸 Kim shared: "My greatest reward isn't found on a stage, but in the quiet moments of witnessing a woman reclaim her life after the shadows of addiction, trafficking, abuse, incarceration or another tragic life situation.

We all know that service is never a solo act. It’s a community collaborative. It is every selfless individual who shows up and every person who decides to - be the change - rather than just talk about it. I am simply grateful to play my part. Truly, whether I am leading at Christ Kitchen or serving as a Police Chaplain, my goal remains the same: To be a steady, calm presence in someone’s darkest hour.

To let them know they are seen…. they are loved……and they are not alone. Together we are stronger and united we make a powerful difference in a hurting world. TOGETHER, let’s all keep building on Sister Peter Claver’s legacy - to make this world a better place for everyone." 🧡

🫶 You can be part of this beautiful work by supporting Christ Kitchen, too!
Open Monday - Friday 10am - 5pm

Congrats, Kim!

Last week, we celebrated the season with our North Monroe Business District members at the Moezy Inn! ✨ Our spring Member Mixer is a time to share neighborhood news and reconnect for the summer ahead - and this year, it was a house warming for the Moezy, too, as it kicks off a new chapter under new ownership!

🎉Cheers to Tony & Raelene for keeping this beloved neighborhood tavern humming and giving it so much TLC before its grand reopening!

🎉...And cheers to North Monroe, and the magnet it is for cool local businesses and the awesome people who pour their hearts into them! It was wonderful to toast this grassroots work together. 🍻
