Why you’ll love it

This steak is one of the original items from the first MAX menu for a reason. One of the most popular dishes at the award-winning restaurant, it has stood the test of time.
The chefs use a blend of four peppercorns and spice, then caramelizes and sears this USDA Prime grade steak to the guest’s specifications. The finish is a French cream demi-glace reduction.

The whole nature of the dish is created by a three-day simmering process of roasting veal bones in-house to create an intense, flavorful stock, which gives the base for the finalization of the sauce and the tantalizing overall flavor. And as a bonus, the dish is gluten free! Paired with a MAX house wine and complimented with a full menu of appetizers, entrees and desserts at one of the region’s premier dining establishments, this dish is a can’t-miss culinary experience.

Spokane Transit (STA) is Liberty Lake’s full-service mobility provider, with an array of convenient options that may have you saying, “My other car’s an STA bus.”

“You don’t have to marry us, just date us,” said E. Susan Meyer, STA’s Chief Executive Officer and fellow Liberty Lake resident. “Using public transit doesn’t mean you never drive, but it can mean you only need to own one car.”

So which mobility services are right for you?

Fixed Route Bus
Spokane Transit operates 147 buses on 40 different routes, covering 248 square miles within Spokane County. Three of these routes serve the Liberty Lake Park & Ride:
• Route 74: Direct access to East Indiana services and Spokane Valley Mall, this route serves the Mirabeau Park & Ride then continues downtown via I-90.
• Route 172: Travels from Liberty Lake Park & Ride to downtown Spokane via I-90. Ideally suited for commuters and students as, during peak commute hours, buses leave for downtown every 15 minutes.
• Route 98: Gets you to great shopping, restaurants and services along East Sprague and connects with the Valley’s transportation hub, the Valley Transit Center.

Vanpool
Vanpool is like carpooling, but with groups of people who live and work in approximately the same areas that can share the commute to work in a van provided by Spokane Transit. Vanpools cater to long distance commutes anywhere within eastern Washington and north Idaho, as long as the van starts or ends within STA’s boundaries.

Vanshare
If you can take the bus most of the way to work, but need a ride from home to a transit stop, or from a park & ride to your workplace, Vanshare can bridge the gap.

Paratransit
Spokane Transit takes pride in offering the best possible van transportation to customers eligible for paratransit service under the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Paratransit provides service to over 8,000 ADA-eligible customers, their guests and their personal care attendants.

People tend to be creatures of habit when it comes to pizza ordering. Pepperoni. Supreme. Hawaiian. Repeat. Ed Elliott encourages you to branch out.

“There are a lot of pizzas people haven’t tried, but I know they would like,” said Elliott, marketing director for Liberty Lake Papa Murphy’s and five other franchises in the Inland Northwest. “The Thai Chicken is one of my favorites – sweet and hot. It’s a great pizza.”

Elliott should know. He has made every type of Papa Murphy’s pizza from scratch ingredients, cooked every pizza, marketed every pizza and sampled every pizza in nearly 20 years with Papa Murphy’s. You could say he is part of the local Papa Murphy’s family – literally and figuratively. The Papa Murphy’s Liberty Lake franchise is operated by a local family-owned business that started in Hayden in 1992. Bill and G’Nell DeLack launched the franchise; Elliott is their son-in-law. But every Papa Murphy’s employee is truly “part of the family,” Elliott said, explaining that the manager and employees of each store create a family environment and truly work together.

“If we take care of the product, the guests and our people, we are going to do well,” he said. “We can’t go wrong.”
