Mead

Geography

Mead is located in Spokane County just north of the city of Spokane, specifically the Hillyard and Shiloh Hills neighborhoods, and west of Fairwood and south of Colbert. The area is split into two developed areas by Deadman Creek, which runs roughly east-to-west through Mead before entering the Little Spokane River in neighboring Fairwood. The southern and older portion of Mead is roughly bounded by U.S. Route 395 on the west and a railroad on the east while the northern portion north of Deadman Creek spans both sides of Highway 2. Those two controlled-access roads converge on the western edge of Mead at a large spaghetti junction. The CDP of Mead comprises the former townsite of Mead in the south and an extension of newer development to the north, both of which are contiguous suburban areas within the Spokane urban area.
