Four Lakes, Washington

Largely because Four Lakes is a bedroom community for its neighbors such as Cheney and Spokane, there are very few businesses . A hair salon, a tavern, a dog grooming business, and a convenience store are among the small handful of businesses that call Four Lakes home. Most of the businesses in Four Lakes have been located there for many years and are firmly rooted. Farms are also plentiful around Four Lakes. The small community has its own post office, water district, and volunteer fire department. ==Schools==
