Hazard is an unincorporated community in Spokane County, in the U.S. state of Washington.
Hazard is located on the Wild Rose Prairie, a region of farmland in northern Spokane County between U.S. Route 395 and the Stevens County. The county line is about one mile west of Hazard.[1] There is no defined community center at Hazard, the location is dominated by farms with structures and homes spread out hundreds of feet apart.[2]
Hazard is about 12 miles by road northeast of the suburban and commercial fringes of the Spokane urban area.[1]
A post office called Hazard was established in 1885, and remained in operation until 1904.[3] The community was named after R. R. Hazard, a local merchant.[4]
