Pend Oreille County blends wild Selkirk ridgelines with an easygoing, small-town rhythm. Along the Pend Oreille River, communities like Newport, Cusick, Ione, and Metaline Falls offer farmers markets, historic storefronts, and a year-round calendar of events, with Spokane a practical drive away for flights, concerts, and big-league shopping.
Families find strong support systems here. The Newport School District, Cusick School District, and Selkirk School District serve students across the county, while the Pend Oreille County Library District expands learning with classes, maker spaces, and community programs. Wellness is anchored by Newport Hospital & Health Services, and the Kalispel Tribe’s Camas Center for Community Wellness brings fitness, childcare, and youth sports under one roof in Usk.
Outdoors, this place is a playground: paddle quiet coves on the Pend Oreille River, hike larch-lined trails in the Colville National Forest, or tour limestone depths at Gardner Cave in Crawford State Park. Sullivan Lake offers campgrounds and glassy morning water for canoeing, while anglers chase trout and bass from spring through fall. For planning, zoning, and local services, the county government keeps residents up to speed.
