Spokane is the second largest city in Washington, just edging out Tacoma with a population right around 200,000. It's at a higher elevation than Seattle and has a more extreme climate (summer days in the 90s and cold, snowy winters) and more sun. It's also more conservative politically and less diverse ethnically than Seattle. There's not as much to do, tourist-wise. Riverfront Park is nice and there's a zoo north of town that is all big cats (you can feed lions and tigers by hand there if you're game.) Coeur d'Alene, ID is a half hour or so east and is a neat little town built mainly around a lake resort. Nice place to visit if you're OK shelling out big bucks for a round of golf (they have a floating green in the lake.)
I've honestly never heard anyone say that their dream was to visit Spokane...

Last time I lived there was in 56 but I do know this... The water shed from Northern Idaho south (including the Spokane and the Little Spokane river) have some of the highest lead levels in the WORLD !...
If you go swimming in that water shed DON'T DRINK THE WATER! Most importantly don't let and children or ladies that are PG drink it.

Spokane isn't as pretty as anything you will find on the western side, this is true. However, the people are a LOT more hospitable. I liked driving through there. Go Cougs!
