Spokompton is a semi-affectionate, semi-derogatory nickname for the city of Spokane located in Eastern Washington. No, it's not as dangerous as Compton, but giving it a clever name like Spokompton helps its citizens cope with the reality of living in a meth and heroin-infested place that is rife with mental illness and devoid of opportunity.
While there are a lot of really unique and clever people living here, they all give off a sort of tortured soul or damaged goods kind of vibe, even when they try to seem cheery and fun. Most people who live here would rather live in Seattle or Portland, but lack the resources, connections, and willpower to make a permanent move. Usually, the best people can do is save up enough to take a handful of yearly road trips.
But, it's not all bad. Relative to much of the planet and even to much of America, Spokompton is a realistic place to carve out a decent living. Washington state has some of the best healthcare in the United States and you can attend school for ridiculously cheap at SFCC and EWU. Housing is really affordable, restaurants have tolerable variety, and there are no severe humanitarian concerns or disasters to worry about. Every basic human need is easily met here and the nights are extremely peaceful; if you want to lay low and dodge the unrealistic demands of modern life, this is a place to do it.
Chill and dwell, be humble, and learn to love what you got.

"Spokompton is pretty ghetto, but somehow not that dangerous. Maybe the black market here is as bad as the legal market, so gangs don't even bother."
"Spokompton: Not much here, but it's livable. And hey, at least the pressure's off."
