Review of Spokane, Washington


Spokane is a really nice place
Star Rating - 10/26/2010
We moved from Las Vegas to Boise about 15 years ago. Found out that we didn't really like that area and moved up here about 4 years ago. It is much better than Boise. A hair more expensive, but it is worth it. I have been everywhere, even overseas. Some areas are bad, but most of the areas are really nice. We own a business and during the last two years we have done really well. Not too much new construction though, but we adapted. The weather is nice, just not the winter of 07 or 08, but last year was nice. We do construction and we are still working now and it is the end of Oct. here. If you are looking for a nice place with decent weather, this is it. Not too many bugs, not too hot, the people are nice, no traffic really, decent schools, close to nature and tons of things to do. This is the place that we came to and could actually afford to buy a home. I think that our home is worth the same as when we bought it. The taxes are high, but if you work for someone else, they are decent. If you are considering Spokane, it is a good place.
