The second largest city in Washington, unremarkable in almost every respect. Hoopsfest, Bloomsday, and Riverfront Park are sad substitutes for the attractions of a real destination city. Spokane doesn't actually have anything special going for it in the outdoor sports arena either. Residents who insist this is so probably have never actually lived in an area with real outdoor opportunities. The local skiing is nothing to brag about and million dollar homes ring every lake in the area with private property and almost every patch of woods nearby posting "No Trespassing" signs makes Spokane a poor place for an outdoorsman. Spokane does have the trappings of larger cities. Drug crime, corrupt/incompetent police, a hostile immigrant population, and horredous traffic (due to civil engineering not having reached the city yet). Spokane residents usually are upper middle class who mistake themselves for wealthy, tatoo'd imbeciles trying to affect the air of an LA gangbanger, or filthy and smelly white people with dreadlocks that can be smelled from a 1/4 mile.

Spokane is a city in eastern Washington with just over 200,000 citizens. The weather is nice and sunny in the summer, nice in cool in the winter, and we have one of the cleanest aquafiers in the world. Spokane may sound like a nice place, but there are parts of town that you should not even consider driving through, such as Hillyard, where you can't walk one city block without seeing a 12 year old buying meth from a school teacher. There are other parts of town, such as the south hill, where every prisy rich bitch buys their morning Starbucks before heading for the gym. In gerneral, Spokane is like any other american city.

Spokane is where I am from, my home. Many people like to call it Spokompton, I think that Spokanphetamine would be just as appropriate as it is commonly called the meth capital.
Spokane is actually two cities, Spokane and Spokane Valley. But it uses one bus system as they are attached anyways.
We get a lot of gangstas who come up from California. Crips, Bloods, Surenos, Nortanos, Hells Angels, 18th Street, they're all here. Thing is our newspaper, the Spokesman Review lists the crimes that they commit as anonymous, when they do list them, everything is hush hush here. Must be to keep the gangs from gaining even more notoriety. IDK.
There are really a lot of homeless people here, and the population is majority conservative.
Then there are the different sections of town, the South Hill is where the better off financially live, downtown has many pawnshops and Riverfront Park, Northtown has head shops, a big mall, and lots of tweakers, the East Valley is the same, it also has head shops, a mall and lots of tweakers.
The best thing about Spokane is the forest area that it is in and the mild weather, not too hot during the summer and not too cold during winter.
Oh, and Bloomsday and Hoopfest make the downtown mad busy. Good for getting into fights.

*Walking downtown in Spokane*
Homeless Man: Do you have a dollar?
Me: If I did would I be walking?
Homeless Man: Do you have beer?

The meth, mullet, and hell hole of the world. Nothing but white trash and white supremacy located in this industrial town where depression originated. The people here feel way too optimistic about their town and the attractions it brings which include the worlds fair in the 70's and a lousy street race called bloomsday. If it wasn't for Gonzaga University, this town would be a nuclear testing site!

You know that a city is truly awful when, even on the main street, buildings are boarded up and the parking lots boasting the most cars are Goodwill, Pawn One, the army surplus and Spokane Discount. That’s right; Spokane Discount. This town is trash. Another good indicator of trashdom is when the prize for being the twentieth caller to the local Top 40 station is a free tattoo at Silver Safari. And what does the dumb cow who wins want to get emblazoned on her skin? “Cherries!” she cries. “On the back of my neck!” I guess that will look really good when you’re lining up at Social Security with your two grade-schoolers, eight months preggers, Ford Pinto rotting outside with a “This is America! Speak English!” bumper sticker stuck on its ass. Don’t for a second imagine that you could leave your snotty offspring in the car, however, because Spokane has enough registered sex-offenders per capita to keep the Spokesman Review’s opinion page occupied until the next time a homophobic mayor solicits local high school boys online. I’m sorry, did I get a little off track? The only track I’m really interested in is I-90 West. Let me reiterate: I hate Spokane.
People who use the work "Spokompton" to describe this awful hell-hole are usually not trying to be clever or bad-ass. They're most likely just trying to explain how ghetto Spokane is. "Spokrapton" is my personal favorite and I like to think I made it up, but I imagine others have come up with this monkier before.

I was born here. And for all you other people with your definitions on how bad this place is.. go slob on a knob. cheese and rice. ha. Spokane has amazing weather. awesome festivities. Nice people. Dick's hamburgers. ZIPS. Great malls. The gondolas. Gnar river. Those cool vines that crawl up the walls along the freeway. silverwood is a hop skip and a jump away. River Front Park! I mean come on people! sure they have a meth problem and every other drug problem but what city doesnt have a few crackheads running around...or hundreds. The tiny hick towns in MT. and WY. and all the other states with low pop. but guess what i'm sure they're some tweakers even there. So grow a pair, and enjoy spokansas for what it really is!
Dude #1: What are you doing this weekend?
Dude#2: I'm going to spokane to do all sorts of wicked cool things, not complain about the drug problem, and get on with my life!

Spokane is a scenic and beautiful city in many ways,geographicaly speaking, yet it is a VERY VERY ridiculously exploitational and ultimately dysfunctional in its mentality/economy and also very dysfunctional within its societal behaviours in business and on many more personal levels. There are WAY WAY WAY too many people here, of all ages, who do almost nothing exciting or productive with their lives (which definately does NOT include ME). They seem to enjoy to continue to make their repeated punk ass weak ass attempts at screwing eachother in "supposedly" fair business...NOT. This town is NOT fair...Yet neither is Life...LOL... Trust ME, I work from my home, TRY IT here in Spokane and you too will know EXACTLY what I REALLY mean. The mentality of MANY people here is plain ignorant narrow-mindedness and stupidity to be further brutally honest. I dont hate people I just hate the way most of the people here think. IDIOTS... I feel like I am surrounded by genuine idiots most times here...lazy ass low lifes who very rarely respect the prices of a self employed artist who almost forever struggles to "Make It" working from his home, yet they seem to endlessly continue to bow down to the corporate giants and their $ET pricing, yet they take every chance they think they got to kick ME in the nuts over my ALREADY fair pricing...like it is a negotiation or something...NOT. The Cottage Industry needs and also EXPECTS its pricing to be respected, and yet to also continue to remain FAIR...Like I have always been, with these rude unappreciative cheap ass brow beating jerks. Spokane can kiss my ass.
meth, rape, freaks, crappy amateur hour grafitti everywhere
no decent paying jobs exploitation ignorance narrow mindedness massive conservatism Undeserved Rudness Spokane Sucks
