Welcome to beautiful Priest River, the Cross Roads of the North Idaho Panhandle.  Priest River is an expanding community of 1800 people that prides itself on a small town atmosphere and quality of life.  We are a small North Idaho town that has two navigable water ways (the Priest and Pend Oreille Rivers) within its boundaries.  Beautiful mountains and wildlife surround us.

I am privileged to serve as Mayor of this wonderful small town.  We continue to strive to improve our community through infrastructure improvements, business diversification, and community involvement.  Our community is within minutes of skiing in the winter, golfing in the spring, boating in the summer, and hiking in the fall.  We welcome everyone to come and take a look at what we have now, and the future we have planned for our community.  We think you will fall in love with what you will find.

Jim Martin
Mayor
