Review of Spoka,


Best of the '50's into the 21st Century
Star Rating - 1/20/2018
I've lived in Spokane County for over 16 years. It takes the best of 1950's America and combines it with a fresh mix of conservatism and progressiveness not found on the western side of the state. It has all the modern conveniences and attractions of a bigger metropolitan area but on a smaller scale with no sacrifice to quality. Spokane has excellent educational institutions, growing local and national industries, superior medical facilities and an array of distinct neighborhoods and districts. With mountain state parks, Idaho resort towns and multiple ski slopes less than an hour drive away Spokane truly is 'next to nature, next to perfect'.

If you think "... next to perfect" is garbage everywhere, mattresses in yards, couches on falling down porches, high crime rates, high drug rates, high homelessness, no good jobs, and your "superior medical facilities" that have graffiti in their bathrooms then this is the place for you. There are NO good areas in Spokane - NONE. WHAT DO CA, WA AND OREGON HAVE IN COMMON, ALL THE ABOVE AND THEY ARE ALL LIBERAL with the highest homeless rates.
