Welcome to Cheney

Cheney is one of the oldest towns in the Inland Northwest. Surrounded by pine woods and gently rolling hills, it offers an interesting and exciting mix of attractions. It is a town with a rich agricultural heritage that has retained a "small-town" atmosphere although it is only 15 minutes from the "big-city" attractions of Spokane.

Cheney offers the best of both worlds – economic opportunity and small-town comfort – and continues to grow in popularity.

It boasts a modern library, active parks & recreation department (which offers more than 300 activities year-round) and a historical museum.
Cheney is home to Eastern Washington University (EWU), renowned for its Teacher Education programs.
Cheney residents, as well as students, can use the sports facilities at EWU.
The fine arts center holds regular art exhibits, concerts and plays, which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Cheney boasts 50 lakes within 50 miles, making it convenient to participate in many popular outdoor activities, including fishing, boating and swimming.
The Turnbull Wildlife Refuge is just 6 miles from Cheney. It features numerous hiking trails with lookouts for observing wild birds in their natural settings.
Visit one of the many local golf courses for some of the finest golfing anywhere.
Travel just a little further and enjoy the great skiing that's available in the Pacific Northwest.
All of this, and the community continues to record one of the lowest crime rates for a city of its size in the state of Washington.
