Spokane, a city whose name to the early Native Americans meant "Children
of the Sun, " is located in eastern Washington, 18 miles from Idaho, 110
miles from Canada, and 276 miles from Seattle. A clean, clear river runs
through Spokane, the second largest city in the state of Washington. Riverfront Park is the focal point for a vibrant downtown, retail, and services district attracting many entertainment and arts festivities. With four medical centers and five universities and colleges located in and around the city, Spokane also serves as the health care and higher education hub of the Inland Northwest. Spokane is characterized as either a "big town" or a "small city," but everyone agrees its greatest resource is its quality of life.
