Review of Spokane, Washington


Slow pace living
Star Rating - 11/26/2009
I moved here thinking I was moving to the sticks, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice place to live. I am a minority and the area is mostly Caucasian populated. At first I was worried that I would not fit in but most have treated me fairly, even though I initially walked around with a chip on my shoulders.

The schools are excellent and the economy hasn't been hit too hard by the current financial collapse. There is plenty of outdoor activities, such as hunting, fishing, and snow activities. The air is great and the landscape is nice to look at.

The only negative thing I come up with is that there are not many big retail companies.
