Davenport, the seat of Lincoln County, offers the quiet lifestyle of a friendly country town with the advantages
of the city at its fingertips. A major airport is only twenty minutes away. Metropolitan Spokane is a little more than a half hour drive, as well as Eastern Washington University in Cheney. Lake Roosevelt, Fort Spokane and Fairchild Air Force Base are all within thirty minutes.

Davenport has some surprising amenities, including comprehensive health care facilities, exemplary schools, inexpensive utilities and affordable housing.  People come from miles around to join in
the annual Pioneer Days Celebration every July,
where everything from parades and plays to beard-growing and soap-making occur.
