Midsize city of about 250,000 in Washington State. Very much like every other midsize city in America; people complain about there being nothing to do when there actually is stuff.
We have Bloomsday and Hoopfest. And had the U.S. Figure Skating Championships a couple of times. Some cool bands come through every once in a while. It's fun to walk around downtown and hang out in Riverfront Park, watch the falls, stop into Boo Radley's, stroll through River Park Square. there are quite a few nice parks around the city.
There's a meth problem, but it isn't as bad as people think. In nearly every city with meth, people call it the "meth capitol of the U.S.!!!" Politics are somewhat conservative, but not extremely so by any means; the city is actually somewhat liberal. Our mayor is currently a Democrat and people are supportive.
Overall, your typical American midsize city with its own quirks. Marmots!

AKA Spok-vegas Spokangeles, Spokompton, the 'kan.
Long the second largest city in Washington state, Spokane had recently dropped to third (to Tacoma) in terms of population, but as of March '05 it is number two again. It's sad to fight to be #2.
The chief attraction of Spokane is Riverfront Park, a 100 acre park centered around the Spokane River in the downtown area, and designed by the Olmsted Brothers.
Spokane is the home of Bloomsday, the world's largest road race. Cyan, creators of Myst originated in Spokane. Notable Spokanites include Bing Crosby, John Stockton, George Lynch, Craig T. Nelson, David Eddings, and Gabe and Tycho of Penny-Arcade.
Spokane has been called the meth capital of America. A medium sized city, it suffers from urban sprawl and a small-town attitude. It's hard to find a decent job in Spokane, but it's a cheap place to live and it's great if you like outdoor activities, as there are several lakes and mountains in the region.

A land-locked area of Washington, nothing to do other than smoke weed with all the wiggers. Boring, bad climate hell infested with methheads, wiggers, yuppies, richies, wannabes and shitty deathmetal teenage bands. Has a gypsy curse on it. Everyone seems to absolutely love it here for some reason. Oooh, hoopfest, big deal.
Spokane lover: "Sp0kan3 is the best!1111!! We have hoopfest and gonzaga and a lot of weed. 509 represent!"
Me: Shut the fuck up. Spokane sucks huge cock

Second largest city in Washington, behind Seattle. Like all middle children, it harbors a resentment of the eldest while simultaneously trying to be exactly like it and failing miserably. As such, Spokane tries to present itself as a more quaint, provincial version of Seattle, except that it has no culture and only five or six minorities on a good day.
Spokane is a good place to go if you would like to be shot by the police. The incompetent boobs who run the department specialize in firing upon minors, beating retarded janitors to death and ticketing old men with canes for jaywalking. But that's only because they are incredibly efficient at their jobs and have virtually shut down all crime in the city.
Wait, what? No, Spokane is also the meth capital of the world, and the police department's attempts at reversing this trend add up to...let's see...eight hundred divided by seven times six to the third, carry the one...EPIC FAIL.
Good jobs are impossible to find, here. There are "good outdoor activities" nearby, but all that really does is attract rich white kids to camp their asses on the South Hill and drink shitty canned beer while waiting for the next "good powder, man."
In short, Spokane is a nest of greasy rats breeding in a big, ugly valley with a serious air pollution problem. I hope it explodes.

Young Person: Pardon me, officer, but could you direct me to the railway station?
Policeman: HE'S HOSTILE! OPEN FIRE!
Meth Dealer No.1: Is the coast clear to transfer this massive amount of crystal methamphetamine to a storage facility in broad daylight?
Meth Dealer No.2: Oh, yes, quite. The police are ticketing jaywalkers again today.
Meth Dealer No.3: I love Spokane.

A decent sized city in Eastern Washington that has fun events every once in a while, such as Bloomsday and Hoopfest. The general population is quite liberal and the people keep to themselves. Every now and then they will have fun stuff going on downtown, typically during holidays. It's best to visit Spokane only for these events, not to explore the area. People generally leave with negative views of Spokane after experiencing the masses of aggressive, mentally ill and homeless people wandering the area.
A homeless woman was sleeping next to my car when I returned to the Parkade after shopping at the mall. Spokane is pretty weird.

I can't even beging to tell you all about how fucking Lame this town is. A complete joke in my opinion. Try doing "fair" business here and you will lose. Most only care about how fucking cheap they can get their goods for, quality does not even matter to most of these fucktards around here. I simply am going to create a way OUT for myself and my wife. This place is disloyal, dysfunctional,boring,and fucking lame, stupid, and WAY over rated for sure. The way people here think is SO RIDICULOUS. I have never really fit in here. I try to do right by these fucktards, and they only try to hate me unjustly, and try to trash my reputation for simply caring to do what is right by others. I FUCKING HATE THIS SHITHOLE of Ignorant fools, in which I do NOT belong, that I know for sure...there are WAY too many stooopid wiggers,and fake punk ass wannabe gangbangers that need to run home to their mommies...LOL. and lame ass posers and people who are trying to be something they aren't, because most don't know how to think for themselves here...they are like sleepwalking idiot retarted robots. The youth of this town is fucking lame enough, not to mention the ultra conservative FUCKTARD mentality that the majority of these people seem to live to retain. Once I leave this place I will NEVER return. It does not deserve someone like ME. I make these idiots look bad, because my life is productive and successful and capable. WAY WAY WAY too many people here, can not be happy for the successes of another person, because they are living like walking corpses. This town is a sad joke of a place. The economy is fucking dysfunctional to the core. No decent paying jobs or careers here, just exploitation and SEVERE dysfunctionality. All I Wanna Do Is Get The Fuck Outa Here. They do NOT deserve ME....not that they ever did. The auto body shops and car lots and auto dealers CAN"T be trusted, they are a bunch of fucking greedy pigs and liars and cheats, that is their way. FUCK THEM ALL. I want to burn it all down and piss on the coals. This town can BLOW ME...LOL.
stupidity, fake ass low life people, punk ass posers everywhere, even the spray paint grafitti totally sucks, liars, dysfunction, asshole dick head fucktards all over the fucking place
this town thinks its a city of Greatness, but it is NOT. It is a city of Bullshit people who only know how to get in the way of good people like me. FUCK SPOKANE, it deserves IT. I tell it like it REALLY is and they want to hate me for it.
