Spokane, WA
Walter Spooner covers industrial technology, manufacturing automation, and trade logistics from Spokane, Washington, where he spent a career managing regional distribution centers. After thirty years in supply chain operations, he retired briefly before realizing he had too much knowledge to keep to himself. Now he writes for Edit Hub about warehousing efficiency, forklift safety, and the quiet revolution of industrial robotics. Walter holds a degree in industrial technology and still carries his old stopwatch, a relic of time-and-motion studies. His writing is as straightforward and reliable as a well-maintained conveyor belt. He’s a grandfather of five, a volunteer with Junior Achievement, and a man who can tell you the load capacity of almost any pallet rack on sight.
