- Spokane -

My partner and I relocated from the Puget Sound area to the dry eastern side of Washington State about a year ago. I've been snapping a few pics here and there - not much rhyme nor reason to the order of photos.

Here's a little bit of Spokane!

Intriguing. That's not a city we see here often.

Also, it goes without saying that downtowns with waterfalls are best downtowns.

Great series of pics.

Spokane will always be the bigger sister city to my hometown of Kelowna. It's looking great in these photos.

Love to see Spokane on SSP!

The falls are really, really impressive in person, like something you'd go a long way to visit.

Riverfront Park (with the latice-structure feature) is one of my favorites anywhere. It was a World's Fair site in 1974 and has been nicely redone.

Downtown Spokane is legit. Featured in Macklemore's "Downtown" btw. The Davenport Hotel is fantastic.

Gonzaga's basketball team is also pretty legit.

Spokane is very much like Boise, though the latter has grown faster due to Micron etc. Very similar size, weather, outdoor culture...

Spokane is underrated. Great access to outdoor sports and lakes across the border in Idaho.
