Spokane's Spokesman-Review Building is an unmistakeable part of the city's skyline. The building, once the tallest structure in town, is also the home of the Spokesman-Review, Spokane's newspaper. There is much history in this classically designed building, and you can book a tour to see not only the building itself but you will also get an interesting glimpse into the inner-workings of a daily newspaper from its offices to its presses.

Plan a romantic date at the Knitting Factory, a venue that is widely regarded as the Northwest's premiere outlet for live music. Not only will you get to hear some of the best local, regional and even national acts, you'll also enjoy some of the extra amenities that this hip hangout offers. There's a great restaurant and fun nightclub all owned by the same management, so you get to save a little travel time by getting a great meal, hearing some live music, and dancing the night away at one of downtown Spokane's favorite places.

Get the family ready for some fun, healthy activity by hitting the trail! The Centennial Trail, that is. This picturesque hike and bike trail begins in Idaho and runs all the way through the bike-friendly city of Spokane and then continues on to Riverside State Park. Don't worry if all of your family members aren't bicycle-equipped, as the trail is an excellent place for a brisk walk that will not only allow you to get some great aerobic exercise, but you'll enjoy the unforgettable scenery along the way.
