History
Greenacres was listed as a census-designated place (CDP) in the 2000 census with the spelling "Green Acres". The community largely became part of Spokane Valley when that city incorporated in March 2003. Since then the name Greenacres has been classified as an "official common name for a populated location within an incorporated place".
The majority of the CDP became part of the city of Spokane Valley upon its incorporation in 2003. An additional section of the CDP became part of the city of Liberty Lake in 2006. The population was 5,158 at the 2000 census.
