Living In Spokane, WA

Spokane's detailed, historic architecture echoes with the pride and foresight of the Native Americans who settled in this area hundreds of years ago. Even though they didn't actually build the structures that are part of the city's stunning skyline, their pursuit of a better life is still very much in evidence in the city's forward-looking attitude. Those natives christened the city "Spokane," which translates to "Children of the Sun," and that is a highly appropriate name considering the beauty of all of the breathtaking outdoor activities that the area offers. From kayaking to fishing to golfing to hitting the many trails either on foot or on a bike, there is always a wide variety of outdoor activities to enjoy in Spokane.
