Living in Spokane, WA

Spokane was designated as an All-American City by the National Civic League.

It offers something for everyone – it truly does. From outdoor enthusiasts eager to explore 3,800+ acres of park area to theater goers wanting to see a great show at the Bing Crosby Theater, it's a great place to call home. Shoppers have plenty of options downtown or at the nearby Spokane Valley Mall, and foodies will always find great locally-owned restaurants to dine at and unique cuisine at a food festival in the park.

But living in Spokane does have a few drawbacks. While you can’t beat the beauty, Spokane is quite far from the nearest major city. The unemployment rate here is also higher than the average for Washington State, and cloudy days far outnumber sunny days.
