What moves through Spokane
Agriculture leads the region's outbound freight, with wheat from the Palouse, hay, pulse crops and produce moving to processors and export channels. Timber and forest products ship from the mountains on open decks, and mining operations across northern Idaho and Montana add heavy equipment freight.
Distribution serves communities scattered across the inland Northwest, with retail, ecommerce and food networks reaching a territory that would take a full day to cross. Manufacturing, healthcare institutions and building materials round out the base, and the Canadian border adds northern crossing volume.
The corridors that carry it
I-90 runs east-west from Seattle across the Cascades toward Montana, US-2 and US-395 carry regional traffic and the northern routes reach the Canadian crossings. The Seattle connection over the mountain passes is the market's most important lane and its most weather-dependent one.
