Visitors to Spokane (pronounced Spo-CAN), have a choice of climates at any season of the year. An extensive system of enclosed skywalks offers year-round comfort throughout the downtown area. For those who enjoy outdoor sports, there are Riverfront Park and Splashdown Waterpark in summer, and the slopes of Mount Spokane in winter. Spokane is the county seat of Spokane County in the State of Washington. Situated at the foot of a valley, midway between the rise and mouth of the Spokane River, it is 350 miles east of Seattle and 375 miles northeast of Portland.
The city is the commercial center of an agricultural region and serves as a gateway to the recreation areas of eastern Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana. Riverfront Park was the site of the 1974 World's Fair. It is located on two islands divided by the spectacular cascading Spokane River and Spokane Falls. Attractions include an IMAX Theater, an amusement park and a hand-carved 1909 carousel. Spokane's Grand Boulevard is the place to feed the ducks in Manito Park while taking in a view of stunningly Gothic St. John's Cathedral. The park's many gardens are in bloom from May through October. Read more about Spokane in the "Visitors Guide."
