Where the Story of the Inland Empire Began

Long before Spokane became the region’s commercial center, Kettle Falls was its original gathering ground. For countless generations, tribes from across the Northwest came to the Columbia River to fish, trade, and celebrate the salmon runs that sustained their way of life. In the early 1900s, the arrival of railroads and timber routes tied Kettle Falls to Spokane’s rise, linking the region’s oldest meeting place with its growing modern heart.


Kettle Falls, Washington | HoodIES & Sweatshirts

The Inland Empire Collection for Kettle Falls honors one of the region’s earliest centers of gathering and trade. Long before railroads and industry reached the Columbia, the falls served as a meeting place where people traveled from across the Northwest to fish, trade, and connect. When rail lines and timber routes later pushed north from Spokane, Kettle Falls became an important link between frontier resources and the developing Inland Empire. This collection reflects that deep history of connection, movement, and the hardworking roots that shaped the northern reaches of the region.
