About Spokane

Welcome to Spokane!

Spokane is the gateway to the Inland Pacific Northwest. The largest city between Seattle and Minneapolis and between Calgary and Salt Lake City, Spokane’s nickname is the Lilac City.

The county seat, Spokane serves as the hub capital of the Inland Northwest. This is a region of 36 counties, encompassing parts of Montana, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, Alberta, as well as Washington. Over 1.7 million people reside within this trade zone.

The topography of this land varies from rolling wheat fields to snowcapped mountains; from lush forests to deserts, and from pristine lakes to raging rivers.

Spokane is a four-season country, each contributing to the resident’s unique lifestyle. Situated between the Rocky and Cascade mountain ranges, Spokane is protected from damp coastal weather like Seattle as well as continental type winters. The growing season here extends from mid-April to mid-October.
