Spokane, Washington –
Spokane
Spokane, the region’s downtown, has a lot to offer people of all hobbies.
Spokane is the “downtown” of an area that includes two Canadian provinces (Alberta and British Columbia) and three U.S. states (Washington, Idaho, and Oregon). As a result, the city is popular with a wide range of tourists. People come to Spokane all four seasons to enjoy the city’s wide range of buying, dining, and entertainment options, as well as to take it easy in the city’s peaceful outdoors.
The 40-hectare Riverfront Park is a beautiful part of downtown Spokane. Take the SkyRide for a 15-minute ride through the two Spokane Falls and past World’s Fair activities. See statues, ride a carousel, and honor those who died in Vietnam at the Vietnam Memorial. You can walk or ride your bike through Manito Park to see beautiful flowers, a greenhouse conservatory, and a duck pond. You can get to Riverside State Park from Nine Mile Falls. It is the biggest state park in Washington and has nearly 5,700 hectares of land along the Spokane and Little Spokane rivers where you can swim, camp, hike, fish, boat, ski, and snowmobile. The Centennial Trail is a paved 64-kilometer path that goes from Nine Mile Falls to the border with Idaho. Riverfront Park is in the middle of the trail.
Fun Sightseeing
The Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox is in a building that was originally an Art Deco movie theater and is a beautiful place to see shows. The hotel, parties, and shows by famous artists at Northern Quest Resort are all well-known. The first hotel in the U.S. to have air conditioning was the rebuilt Historic Davenport Hotel, which was built in 1914 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Crab Louis Salad was named after the hotel’s first owner, Louis Davenport. The Bing Crosby Theatre, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, and the Spokane Arena are all close by.
A culture focused on food
Spokane is proud of its food scene, which includes top-notch cooks, seasonal food, and drinks that go well with new dishes. After being a steam plant for almost 70 years, SteamPlant now has shops, a restaurant, and a brewery. It is one of 41 small breweries on the Inland Northwest Ale Trail. Arbor Crest Wine Cellars’ estate grounds, which were built in 1924 and are 137 meters above the Spokane River, are used for concerts and other events linked to wine. You could take a trip to Green Bluff, which is made up of more than 40 family farms where you can pick your food.
