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.
