Spokane County faces higher overall county government costs than King and Pierce, according to figures by Lester Livengood. He notes Spokane officials run the offices at about 11 per thousand population less efficiently than King and 6 to 7 cents less than Pierce, despite efforts by County Auditor Joe Stewart.

Island Belle Grapes Grower Adds To Island Vine Yard
About fifty years ago a grape grower settled on Puget Sound shore and developed the now famous Island Belle grape. Adam Eckert, visiting the district, decided to settle and test many varieties, ultimately perfecting Island Belle. The hardy slip skin grape ripens reliably, ships well, yields heavy crops, and adapts for table, jelly, juice, wine, and other products. The Evans vineyard has grafted Island Belle stock and expanded plantings along sunny sunlit slopes with proper drainage.
