About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to the Kootenai Clinic one morning, puzzled by an unusual sight in their truck bed. Amongst boxes of medication sat a small, brightly colored kite, its string tangled around some bottles. The delivery driver looked closer and noticed that the kite was missing a wing, just like the label on one of the bottles nearby. Smiling, he thought it must be a sign from above—maybe the universe was telling him to take a break and fly high for a bit. So, he untangled the string, took the kite home, and hung it proudly on his living room wall as a reminder to never forget to enjoy life’s little adventures.
2. A little girl walked into the pharmacy with her grandmother, clearly excited. When she saw the shelves filled with colorful bottles and boxes, she turned to her grandma and asked, ‘Grandma, why do they keep all these medicines in such pretty packages?’ Grandma smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, those aren’t just any packages—those are like magical capsules that help people feel better when they’re sick.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to a brightly colored box and asked, ‘Can I have one of those candies too?’ Grandma laughed gently, knowing exactly what kind of medicine was hiding inside.
3. In the quiet town of Spokane, every Wednesday afternoon at precisely three o’clock, a faint humming sound would emanate from the Kootenai Clinic’s parking lot. No one could explain it—neither the pharmacists nor the neighbors—not even the delivery drivers who parked nearby. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver named a regular started bringing his dog along for company. The canine became so enamored with the mysterious hum that he began howling in perfect rhythm, attracting curious stares and laughter from everyone around. From then on, whenever anyone asked what caused the strange noise, they’d simply say, ‘Oh, just our friendly neighborhood pharmacist practicing his wolf whistle!’
4. A pharmacist noticed something peculiar in the prescription notes one foggy morning. 'Why does every third patient request an extra bottle of vitamin C?' he wondered aloud. Curious, he checked the records and found that none of these patients had any known allergies or health conditions related to vitamin C. Then, a delivery driver casually mentioned, ‘Oh, those are for the coffee pot!’ The pharmacist laughed, realizing that some people just like having an extra boost—even if it’s not medicine.
