Mead is a small farming community north of Spokane, Washington. The United States Census Bureau does not recognize it with a population statistic, however the area is primarily rural in nature and has a population of about 500. The Mead School District, which is named after the town of Mead, as their very first school was built there, enrolls approximately 9000 students in two high schools, two middle schools, and seven elementary schools. The district also has an alternative high school and is building a new elementary school. Mead is home to the computer game development firm, Cyan Worlds, makers of Myst and Riven. The Kaiser Aluminum Mead Works, which operated as a leading area employer from 1942 until curtailment in 2001, is nearby.
