The little town with the funny name...
I can’t tell you how many times, and in how many ways, I have heard the name of our lovely town butchered beyond recognition. But that’s okay, once you learn, you’ll never forget. Here’s some important stuff for you to know:
Coeur d’Alene is known as the “Jewel of the Northwest” and, for those of us who live here, we need not wonder why. Nestled between large beautiful lakes on every side, Coeur d’Alene is filled with a vibrant community and a sense of all things nostalgic.
Whether you visit in the summer or winter, you will not be without things to do that keep you and your family busy in a fun and safe environment. Few communities can boast about their activities and events like those of us who call Coeur d’Alene home.

Yes, that’s right, we’re closer to Seattle than Boise. And, personally speaking, I like it that way.
