Spokane Living
The Inland Northwest is blessed with some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the country. The region’s “Near Nature, Near Perfect” slogan is very fitting as Spokane is surrounded by rolling foothills, lush forests and more than seventy five rivers and lakes. The Inland Northwest is a great place to both live and play. As the second-largest city in the State of Washington, Spokane is the cultural hub of Eastern Washington. From music performances in classic venues to art galleries, the Lilac City promises urban excitement against the serene setting of the Northwest. Spokane hosts numerous nationally known annual festivals celebrating everything from lilacs to literature, Hoopfest - the nation’s largest outdoor 3 on 3 basketball tournament and the internationally recognized Bloomsday road race. Spokane’s Restaurant scene fits the calebar of a much larger city. Spokane is known for its great reputation for academic excellence in both the private and public school systems. Excellent hospitals and two major universities also contribute to the high quality of life.
