Spokane is the largest city and county seat of Spokane County, Washington, United States. It is in eastern Washington, along the Spokane River, adjacent to the Selkirk Mountains, and west of the Rocky Mountain foothills, 92 miles (148 km) south of the Canadian border, 18 miles (30 km) west of the Washington-Idaho border, and 279 miles (449 km) east of Seattle, along I-90.
Spokane is the economic and cultural center of the Spokane metropolitan area, the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene combined statistical area, and the Inland Northwest. It is known as the birthplace of Father's Day, and locally by the nickname of "Lilac City". Officially, Spokane goes by the nickname of Hooptown USA, due to Spokane annually hosting Spokane Hoopfest, the world's largest basketball tournament. The city and the wider Inland Northwest area are served by Spokane International Airport, 5 miles (8 km) west of Downtown Spokane. According to the 2010 census, Spokane had a population of 208,916, making it the second-largest city in Washington, and the 101st-largest city in the United States. At the 2020 census, Spokane's population was 228,989. A 2019 estimate sets the population of the Spokane Metropolitan Area at 573,493.
The first people to live in the area, the Spokane tribe (their name meaning "children of the sun" in Salishan), lived off plentiful game. David Thompson explored the area with the westward expansion and establishment of the North West Company's Spokane House in 1810. This trading post was the first long-term European settlement in Washington. Completion of the Northern Pacific Railway in 1881 brought settlers to the Spokane area. The same year it was officially incorporated as a city under the name of Spokane Falls (it was re-incorporated under its current name ten years later).[15] In the late 19th century, gold and silver were discovered in the Inland Northwest. The local economy depended on mining, timber, and agriculture until the 1980s. Spokane hosted the first environmentally themed World's fair at Expo '74.
Many of the downtown area's older Romanesque Revival-style buildings were designed by architect Kirtland Kelsey Cutter after the Great Fire of 1889. The city is also home to the Riverfront and Manito parks, the Smithsonian-affiliated Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, the Davenport Hotel, and the Fox and Bing Crosby theaters.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Spokane, and the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist serves as that of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane. The Spokane Washington Temple in the east of the county serves The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Gonzaga University was established in 1887 by the Jesuits, and the private Presbyterian Whitworth University was founded three years later and moved to north Spokane in 1914.
The city's western suburb of Airway Heights is home to Fairchild Air Force Base as well as two large casino hotels.
In sports, the region's professional and semi-professional sports teams include the Spokane Indians in Minor League Baseball and Spokane Chiefs in junior ice hockey. The Gonzaga Bulldogs collegiate basketball team competes at the Division I level. As of 2010, Spokane's major daily newspaper, The Spokesman-Review, had a daily circulation of over 76,000.

I moved to Spokane in 2013. Two years later, I met a wonderful lady and got married. I'm having a good, happy life in Spokane.
I love that part of Spokane. I usually hang out at Manito Park or Riverfront Park and South Hill on weekends.
I don’t know why people don’t like Spokane. I moved here in 2019 and so far the sights are beautiful and the people are friendly. Thanks for the video! I’m watching this because sometimes you just have to tour your own town.
The ppl are nice ppl
They would if they lived there. I spent 12 great years there and relocated for a promotion before the pandemic. I miss it. What a great town!
@vamvakoula asima pecatrix Well, the violent crime rate is low but we do have a lot of drug overdoses. It’s mostly hurting themselves but it’s still sad. And there are tons of jobs here because it’s not the coolest place to live (everyone goes to Seattle.) Spokane has small town charm with the amenities of a big city. But all this is just my opinion. Google some stuff before you come here and maybe even visit before you decide to move here.
i was just thinking that first line myself. i relocated from florida to california to go back to college and ive come to realize i really prefer the west coast like i always thought, but maybe not california in particular... so i have been eyeing spokane as the next adventure, possibly.
🤫 🤐
I remember being here for work for year 21 to 22 and I enjoyed how laidback everything was. But I was mainly located in Liberty Lake, just near the state-line. I may move back out there soon. I miss that gloomy weather.
It’s gloomy now and it’s the one thing I hate about it ! Other than that it’s not a bad place to call home
i live just a few streets up from where you pulled into at the end of the video, thats wild!

Spokane caught my attention because of how cloudy and simultaneously dry it is. Not much sun and very little rain but also seasonal. I like that. Im fine with snow, I just hate rain.
Born and raised here in Spokane. Can remember downtown and other areas, since I was a kid in the early 80's. Many people here gripe about how much they hate it here. But honestly I think they secretly love it here? It's not perfect..just like everywhere else. I've always loved it here. When I at times go to NY for a bit. To work on music with some established artists in the music industry. I love NY..it's my second home. But when there, I miss Spokane soon after arriving in NY. I will say though, in recent years. I've slightly disliked Spokane though. Cause the huge homeless and drug issues that have been getting out of hand. And , it seems like Spokane is trying hard to be Seattle 2.0. Which Seattle is okay (to visit, haha). But I prefer Spokane over Seattle. Don't want it to be a Seat-town clone. Also...The influx of people from other states, which has driven up the cost of housing and living here. As much as I still love Spokane. I miss how it was 20yrs ago. Bought my home here a long time ago. And am on the fence about staying or, selling and moving to a small, laid back town? So many great memories here...Many great friends. However, some great parts of Spokane where memories were made, are gone. Like White Elephant, the old version of Riverfront Park etc..Plus many friends have moved, unfortunately. Or have passed away even.
My two 1/2 years in Ritzville will always be a satellite 🛰️ experience of Spokane: the building design spire reminded me of that MIT LSD inspired architecture that had the same designer as that museum? In outer Las Vegas
Who remembers black Angus restaurant and when Chad little came to Spokane. Spokane shut down parts of the city for racing around downtown...
Spokane was a great place in the 80tys early 90tys to raise kids...then crack came up 1990ty with a following of different sets of gangs.Snoop doggy dog rapping about get your money on in spokane on one of his songs..lol
The valley was cool back in early 2000,2003...
Thanks for video....
I love Spokane ❤. They love their children. And so do I
The old town architecture looks really cool. I was really hoping it was a more of a walkable city. I don't see anybody walking or riding a bike unfortunately
Trust me it's a rideable city...a bike lane travels right through Riverside from west to east....I know I travel it almost daily.
I was born in November lived here all my life downtown is a beautiful place until the homeless kids moved in steel wonderful Spokane Valley
5:46 I used to walk this skywalk almost every day to catch the bus at the Plaza. Now I live in Utah and have to drive myself to work lol
Will you ever come back to Spokane? I'm contemplating on moving back out there.
beautiful
i am from san jose, calif and i have been to spokane about 4 times, to visit a cousin, or friend i grew up with, my nephew went to gonzaga on a scholarship for first semester of college and he said he hated it, maybe because it was a shock, living at home with parents, then living in a dorm, IDK, but he did say the people were weird hippies at the college ?? anyway he didnt return in the spring, my brother was pissed cuz he blew a scholarship. thanks for the video
I just got accepted to g-prep, and Spokane isn’t as bad as you think
Spokane is not everybody’s cup of tea. It’s definitely a culture shock for a lot of people.
@@rapman5363 I agree, but there are worse places. But Spokane is home to me.
@@rapman5363 Why?
Justin is the man. It is cray if he does.
Wow, Spokane has grown. I only recognized the Spokesman Review building? Haven't been there since 1985.
It's a terrible place to live now.
you can also watch the mclemore "downtown" video if you want to see more of spokane
It all looks peetty familiar lol because it is.
Hannah, thanks for the great summer. will always remember. dust by steve winwood is you. dont remember your last name Santa Cruz
👍🏼
Many cities have churches every few blocks. None here.
Wow nice country
It was a nice little city that had escaped notice for decades, but once people found it, they destroyed it by moving here in droves and legions. - life long resident
From what I heard that are a lot of hate groups , the klan, proud boys and some others I know that there are hate groups everywhere but I've always heard this city was very prevelant to this type of behavior for spokane. It also looks depressing
Justin Bieber is living in this city
Actually he summer vacations on lake Couerdalene, along the kardashians, and many many other Hollywood stars. The Gozzer ranch to be exact. There are several private resorts for the ultra rich in the area. So kind of puts a different view on the area. And yes Couerdalene is in the Spokane metro area.
Way to purposely not go to the bad parts on the South or East part of downtown where all the homeless crackheads are lol
i live in spokane and i hate it
Why?
From what I've seen, you'd think it was paradise compared to Los Angeles, where I live.
@@CrossoverGameReviews I’m going up to Spokane next week, now I understand why some are telling me that an LA chick just won’t be able to handle it up there.
I’m so sorry that you don’t like the place where you live.
Get out more......Go skiing, go hiking, go chill at the lake. Losts of things to do around Spokane.
Spokane has a high crime rate , and you can tell buy the video a very dirty town ,the people dress like their from mars, huge meth problem and a lot of homeless people, and people will come up to your car and demand money from you , if you move to spokane make sure u get a firearm permit because u will need it, other than that a nice place to live,
Lived here for 50 years. Never had a problem, walk downtown at all hours , still no problem. Even chat with homeless population , which most cities have by the way, Mostly nice people with mental illness issues and drug problems, but still no issues. I’ve lived in all parts of town, and never had any theft or other issues. If you always look for it you will find it I guess. Live in fear and fear will find you.
This is NOT a video recorded in 2021! I live in Spokane and have for 43 years! This video is old! Possibly a Google car download?
Probably don't want to move here because it is not pleasant. Even our news was referring to the meth drug problem as a methademic about 5 years ago!
Good piece of advice... DO NOT MOVE TO MY HOMETOWN! It's HORRIBLE here!!
I did record this video Nov. 2021. I liked it there in Spokane. I think the city is pretty good, and weather was pleasant.
@@weicitytour oh yeah? Hahaha funny!
Guess I must've been living futuristically and not in the present reality in 2021 then!
You n ur Google car footage must just know a whole lot more than me, hehe
@@gheangel_quinn bruh I'm from spokane and have traveled all over the world. You should feel blessed to live in spokane. There are many many places that if you ended up in would you would be begging to get back to Spokane.
Check yourself bro..
@@weicitytour I saw a 5g antenna near the end of the video and 5g was turned on in Spokane in 2019. So not over 5 years old
Beware huge tweaker presence downtown
The weather looks totally awful and the town looks boring as hell👎
У вас там живёт родня какая та
