Review of Spokane, Washington


general living
Star Rating - 9/10/2005
Local motto is :near nature, near perfect! some wags have added Near Coeur d'Alene. I live half way between the cities, 10 miles to either one from Liberty Lake, Wa.

Summer weather is great, lots to do, nice people here. Even the kids, never been called "Sir" more often. Most people walk their shopping cart back to the store or to the space for them. Feel very safe here.

75 lakes within 50 miles, several major ski mountains, miles and miles of bike trails, off road trails, shopping in Spokane, entertainment in Coeur d'Alene, golf courses everywhere.

Downside is that great restaurants are few and far between, but it gets a little better every year.

Winters are reletively mild.

This is the Eastside of Washington State, which means very little rain and humidity. about 17 inches a year and the weather is generally sunny. including the little bit of snow in the winter. However, the ski mountains and the ski mobile trails seem to get a goodly amount.
