Welcome to the Spokane area, the heart of the Inland Northwest - a region that encompasses Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana. Our name comes from the Native American tribe that makes its home in this area and means "Children of the Sun," which is exactly what you'll find in Spokane. We are known for our bright blue skies, glistening rivers and lakes, and our welcoming community.

The Spokane area is also known as the cultural hub of the Inland Northwest. The Spokane Symphony Orchestra recently celebrated 50 years of outstanding performances. The INB Performing Arts Center (formerly the Spokane Opera House) offers a regular season of Broadway hits, exciting concerts and international dance companies. The Spokane Arena is the site of world-class concerts and sporting events. We're also home to four community theaters and one professional company that offer a full season of comedies, dramas and musicals. Add art galleries, museums, and festivals, and you'll have to admit that Spokane has something for everyone!

There are so many fun things to do in and around the Spokane region. Here are just a few…

Scream down one of the world's largest wooden roller coasters. Ride the wheel of fortune at one of our casinos. Sip some distinctly regional wine. Make tracks at an indoor speedway. Visit one of our many award-winning museums, listen to our orchestras, watch performing artists and more!

Like to shop? You’re only a few short blocks away from Spokane’s beautiful River Park Square shopping mall. And, of course, one of Spokane’s 16 public libraries is right downtown!
