Mead, Washington
Mead is an unincorporated suburb and census-designated place north of Spokane in Spokane County, Washington, United States. Named for Civil War general George Meade, this area is tracked by the United States Census Bureau. As of 2020, the population of Mead was 7,576.
In 1900, Mead was the second stop on the Spokane Falls & Northern Railway. The community included the Cushing & Bryant general store, a blacksmith shop, a public school with approximately 60 students, a Methodist Episcopal church, and a Sunday school. At the time the post office was located in the Cushing & Bryant store.
Mead is home to the computer game development firm, Cyan Worlds, makers of Myst and Riven. The Kaiser Aluminum Mead Works, which operated as a leading area employer from 1942 until curtailment in 2001, is nearby.
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.
The original townsite of Mead includes streets named 1st Avenue through 4th Avenue, and a Main Street, not to be confused with streets with the same name in the city of Spokane proper. Mead is well-connected with the northern portion of the Spokane urban area via Highway 2, U.S. Route 395 and as the southeastern terminus of Washington State Route 206. Market Street connects the area with Hillyard to the south and Farwell Road connects Mead with Fairwood to the west.
Terrain in Mead is relatively flat, at approximately 1,900 feet above sea level, though the valley of Deadman Creek falls to below 1,800 feet and nearby hills immediately to the south and southeast of the community rise above 2,300 feet.
U.S. 2 passes north–south through Mead and is known as the Newport Highway in the area.
