Visitor
information about Spokane, WA
Spokane, WA is located in
eastern Washington State about 20 miles west of the Washington / Idaho
state line. Interstate-90 goes right
through Spokane.
Spokane is considered the
heart of the inland Northwest. It is
the second largest city in Washington and the largest city between Seattle
and Minneapolis.
Spokane is the county
seat for Spokane County. Spokane
County is shown in red on the Washington State map shown to the left.
|
|
|
|
|
Spokane means “Children
of the Sun” in the local native language.
The original inhabitants
of this area were members of the Spokane Tribe of Indians. They hunted and fished along the Spokane
River and fished at Spokane Falls which is now located in Riverfront Park
in downtown Spokane. The Tribe hosts
the Riverfront Park Pow Wow held each
August. It is a family affair and
well worth your time to attend.
|
|
|
|
Riverfront
Park
Riverfront Park was the
center of the Spokane Exposition. Although
little remains of the Exposition the Park today has an ice arena in the
winter and a historic Looff Carrousel, IMAX
Theatre, amusement rides, mini-golf, ice cream & pizza parlor, and
especially river watching in this 100 acre downtown park.
|
|
One of the best things
about Riverfront Park is that it has hotels on its perimeter so you can
literally stay in the Park. Both the
Red Lion and the Double Tree Hotels are right on the park.
|
|
|
The County
Building
|
Spokane is unique in that
it boasts enclosed skywalks that connect many downtown buildings within a
fifteen block area.
Spokane is a cosmopolitan
city with a wide variety of entertainment available. You can enjoy the oldest jazz orchestra
in the US, a symphony orchestra, opera, and major Broadway plays as well as
local productions. There are
interesting historical sites, museums and art galleries to visit.
Spokane is the home of
four universities.
|
|
Camping, hiking, fishing,
white water rafting, skiing and snowboarding are just some of the outdoor
recreation activities available in the Spokane area. Mount Spokane is about 30 miles northeast
of Spokane.
There are lovely parks
and gardens to enjoy.
