Bicycle Alliance of Washington Opens Office In Spokane

Good news for Spokane! We're getting a Bicycle Alliance of Washington office right here in our city, and a full-time staff person. Until now, the only Alliance office was in Seattle. 

So why should we be excited about this? The new staffer will:

• Stay on top of the many things going on that affect bicycling on our side of the state.
• Communicate regularly with decision makers so biking is always on the agenda.
• Link and leverage the impact of volunteer efforts.
• Provide direct programs that expand community support for biking and walking.
• Contribute to Spokane's quality of life and economic growth to benefit everyone, not just those who ride a bicycle.

What this means for you:

• You’ll know when it’s time to advocate so you can weigh in.
• You’ll know when it’s time to have fun so you don’t miss out.
• A stronger eastern Washington base will increase the effectiveness of our legislative advocacy in Olympia, with a positive effect on bicycling everywhere in the state.
• We'll have more and better bicycling in Spokane County and eastern Washington. 

Now the Alliance is asking for your help though. They would like you to become a member to help support the new Spokane office. Here's a link to more information about the Bicycle Alliance of Washington and information on becoming a member.
