Spokane's Favorite 2026

What this is

Spokane's Favorite is a community popularity vote run by ListSpokane. It is not an official award, certification, license, ranking of quality, or endorsement by ListSpokane, RankFlow Systems LLC, or any government body.
Results reflect the number of valid votes cast by the public and nothing more.

Entries open October 11, 2026 at 9:09 PM and close November 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Entries remain open during voting until this deadline.
Voting opens October 18, 2026 at 12:00 AM and closes November 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Votes received after close do not count.
Late entrants become eligible for votes immediately once their payment is confirmed during the voting period.

Enter your email on a voting page and confirm it with the one time link or code we send you. A vote only counts once it is confirmed.
You may vote once per email address per trade category per day. You may vote in as many categories as you like.
Temporary or disposable email addresses are not allowed. Automated voting, scripts, purchased votes, or creating multiple emails to vote more than allowed is prohibited.
We log IP address, device and browser information to protect the vote. ListSpokane may void any votes it believes are fraudulent or suspicious, at its sole discretion.
Voting is free. Agreeing to receive local deals and updates is optional and is never required to vote.

The business must operate in the Spokane area and the entrant must be authorized to act for the business. Enter and pay in one step, then confirm your email to complete your listing claim.
Local businesses only. No chains.
Nominees are local businesses from the ListSpokane directory and become eligible to win once they enter.
There is an entry fee of $49 per trade category. An entry appears publicly only after payment is confirmed. Entry fees are not refundable.
Optional Campaign Boosts provide featured placement on voting pages. Boosts change where an entrant is displayed, not how votes are counted.
ListSpokane may refuse or remove any entry that is misleading, inappropriate, or breaks these rules.

All entry fees and Campaign Boost purchases are non refundable. This applies to the $49 entry fee for each trade category, the $97 Standard Campaign Boost, and the $149 Premium Campaign Boost.
No refunds are provided for withdrawal, disqualification, vote totals, or contest results. Entry and boost purchases do not guarantee votes or a win.

There is one winner per trade category: the eligible entrant with the most valid votes at close. Ties are broken by the earliest entrant to reach the tied total.
