Logan is one of the central neighborhoods in Spokane, being located immediately adjacent to downtown and the rest of the city center.

The Spokane River flows past Logan, first along the eastern edge of the neighborhood before turning to the west and providing the southern boundary.

A stretch of Spokane Falls Boulevard and Trent Avenue, south of the river, act as the southern border of the neighborhood as well.

The campus of Gonzaga University stretches from the Spokane River on the south to Sharp on the north and Ruby on the west to Hamilton on the east.

The historic character fades as you reach the northern edge of the neighborhood, however, and residential areas transition into commercial and light-industrial zones.

Zoned as part of Spokane's "centers and corridors" plan, higher density buildings are allowed on Hamilton than elsewhere in the neighborhood.

[5] The stretch of Hamilton nearest Gonzaga's campus is home to most of the neighborhoods bars and restaurants, giving the area a college town kind of atmosphere.

Jack and Dan's, a landmark Spokane bar in continuous operation since the end of prohibition, is located at Hamilton and Sharp.

[8] The neighborhood has many homes built in the early 1900s displaying the Queen Anne, Craftsman, Foursquare and Bungalow architectural styles.

[8] The growth of Gonzaga University since the men's basketball team's Cinderella run to the Elite Eight of the 1999 NCAA tournament has led to considerable change and new development in Logan.

[17] For cyclists, dedicated bike lanes run east to west through Logan on Indiana and Sharp Avenues.

[19] The Spokane Transit Authority, the region's public transportation provider, serves Logan with five fixed schedule bus lines.

The City Line will connect Browne's Addition in the west with Downtown, Logan, Chief Garry Park and Spokane Community College on the east.

The City Line will enter Logan along Spokane Falls Boulevard, travel through the Gonzaga campus along Cincinnati Street before turning east on Mission Avenue.
