Publisher Note As the seasons shift, so too does our community. We watch the familiar ebb and flow, and while a part of us often resists these changes, the truth is that change is essential. Growth can't happen in stillness—it thrives in the transitions and moments when the world around us begins to evolve. I won’t use the old caterpillar-turned-butterfly metaphor. Still, the sentiment holds: change challenges us because it disrupts our routines, sense of comfort, and attachment to what we know. And yet, in these moments of discomfort, we find new opportunities, perspectives, and strengths. As we prepare to say goodbye to the warmth of summer and welcome the crispness of fall, let us embrace the inevitable changes around us. In this issue, we explore not only the shifts happening in our surroundings but also the exciting possibilities that come with them. Change is, after all, not something to fear, but something to grow with. As you flip through the pages, you’ll find yourself immersed in the season with 'A Perfect Fall Getaway at Green Bluff Farms,' where the magic of autumn comes alive with fresh produce and family fun; 'Fall into Fun this Season,' offering a look at the endless activities Spokane has to offer year-round; and our cover feature, 'Discover Spokane’s Best at River Park Square,' where shopping, dining, and fall events take center stage. These stories, along with much more, make this issue the perfect companion for your fall adventures. Here's to new beginnings, growth, and the beauty of embracing what’s next.
