Share feedback about visual quality topics in our survey: Landscape Treatment Approach and Plant Species Palette

Welcome to the Online Engagement Hub for the I-90 Connection to the North Spokane Corridor.

Engagement focus

The July 2026 to January 2027 engagement series is designed to guide you through a group of activities focused on the visual quality and landscape treatment approach for the I-90 Connection to the North Spokane Corridor.

The NSC / I-90 map shown here highlights the focus areas of the engagement series, including plazas, gateway features at nodal intersections and more.

The previous workshops were interactive community engagement experiences designed to gather input on how the North Spokane Corridor connects with surrounding neighborhoods, businesses, and the broader transportation network. Participants explored how access and linkage, comfort and image, uses and activities, and sociability contribute to vibrant and connected places.

This engagement series builds on that foundation by using visuals, definitions, and placemaking attributes to:

  • Identify what makes places feel connected or disconnected.
  • Discuss how those attributes show up along the I-90 Connection.
  • Evaluate how proposed placemaking features align with community needs and vision.
  • Prioritize which attributes matter most for future corridor investments.

Feedback from this engagement series will be used to influence visual quality and landscape treatment decisions within the WSDOT right-of-way that support the places that people live, work, play, worship, shop, and congregate.

Thank you for taking the time to assist in the community engagement efforts of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
