Serving Spokane, WA
Spokane was incorporated in 1881 and is the Spokane County seat, sitting on the dry east side of the Cascades where Interstate 90 is the single east and west freight spine, joined in the city by US 2, US 195, US 395, SR 290 and SR 291, with BNSF and Union Pacific main lines and the point where the Portland and Seattle sections of the Amtrak Empire Builder are joined and separated. The city sits on the Spokane River above Spokane Falls and over the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer, designated a sole source aquifer by the EPA in 1978. Avista Corporation has been headquartered here since 1889 and operates 1,858 megawatts of generating capability and 2,770 miles of transmission line across a 30,000 square mile service territory, Jubilant HollisterStier runs sterile pharmaceutical and biological manufacturing on North Regal Street, Aero-Flite maintains large airtankers for Forest Service aerial firefighting, the city Waste to Energy Facility processes 800 tons of municipal solid waste a day under a Title V air permit, and Gonzaga University runs a graduate program in power transmission and distribution. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Spokane sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Spokane County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
