Suncrest is a census-designated place (CDP) in Stevens County, Washington, United States.

Though it is not incorporated as a city or town, the CDP's population of 5,413[2] at the 2020 census makes Suncrest the largest community in the county.

By that time, Suncrest's population had surpassed 5,000 residents, making the community larger than Colville, the county seat.

This rapid growth put a strain on both Suncrest and nearby Spokane's transportation infrastructure, namely SR-291.

With limited services and employment opportunities, residents of Suncrest had little choice but to commute into Spokane for work and much of their shopping needs.

[13][14] The Stevens County Rural Library District has been a part of Suncrest since 1996[citation needed].

Services of SCRLD include books, movies, CDs and tapes, free Internet access, printing and copying, etc.

As such, the library provides a vital resource for a wide range of users, including farmers, loggers, homeschool parents and distance education students, who view the library as "their community hub, their reference source, their connection to the Internet, their bus stop, their office, their living room even.

[18] Some planned developments in the area offer residents free membership in one of the community's private recreational clubs.
