Spring is in full swing here in Coeur d’Alene, with summer just around the corner. This time of year brings rain, and shine, and blooms throughout town. It is also the time of year that downtown Coeur d’Alene is adorned with beautiful hanging flower baskets along Sherman and Lakeside avenues, thanks to the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association’s partnership with Aspen Nursery.



My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
