The Stevens County Rural Library District has just launched a new regional WIKIpedia.

What is the Stevens County Wiki Project? I'm glad you asked! The wiki project is dedicated to creating an online wiki guide to Stevens County, Washington. We hope that all of you who know and love the area will contribute your knowledge to the wiki and all our visitors may learn more about Stevens County. If you like this site, please tell your friends! The more people who get involved, the better this guide will be.

What is a wiki, you ask? Good question! In essence, a wiki is a user-editable website. YOU (yes you!) can add content and help build this community site.

But you forgot to talk about.... Did we miss something? Oops! But the wonderful thing about a wiki is that YOU can add it in. Just log in (you don't have to give out any personal information at all) and add what's missing. Let us know about the best place to watch sunsets, tips on how to hunt turkey, whatever you want to see. When everyone joins in, the information in this guide just grows and grows! Thank you in advance for making our wiki better!

Don't be shy. This project is here for you! Feel free to share what you know about Stevens County - its history, its attractions, recreation and more. We hope you will join in and let everyone know about beautiful Stevens County.

The three counties of NE Washington offer up an abundance of exciting activities from our mountains to our waterways and in each town that makes up our corner of the state. It has not always been easy to access information about what is happening - when. Now, thanks to the introduction of the events.uppercolumbia.net online events calendar those activities will be easy to access.

The Upper Columbia River Network is a regional internet that connects individuals to opportunities located in the region.  www.uppercolumbia.net is the starting point for anyone interested in locating a business, service, or event in NE Washington.  Comprehensive regional search, event calendars, and business directories are the backbone (stock and trade) of the network.

The region is centered on the Columbia River watershed above Grand Coulee Dam in the northeast corner of Washington State and into southern British Columbia.  The region is subdivided into geographic sub-domains by community and business development districts.  “Explore The Corridor” or one business development sub-region that encompasses the 395 corridor north of Spokane.

The primary goal of this regional internet is to focus information and communication within the geographic area for the benefit of users located both inside the region and external.  As of 2005, a significant effort and investment already existed in web content by businesses and organizations located in the region.   However there was no easy way to browse or search those resources.  UCRN aims to provide this “umbrella” service of making this geographically focused content more easily available.  UCRN also exists to promote new content from regional organizations by demonstrating the value of focused electronically delivered information.

UCRN maintains a comprehensive listing of all businesses in each sub-region.  New businesses can be listed in the business directory by making a simple request.  The business directories are fully searchable.
