What is the basic minimum snow load for Spokane County?
The basic minimum snow load for Spokane County is 30 pounds per foot. However, areas within Spokane County have snow loads as high as 150 pounds per foot. To determine your snow load, the elevation above sea level for your building site must be established. This elevation is used in conjunction with other data contained in “Snow Load Analysis for Washington” produced by the Structural Engineers Association of Washington, which may be reviewed at our offices.
