Spokane was of course in the Northwest region along with Seward, Alaska; Florence, Oregon; McCall, Idaho and West Yellowstone, Montana.
So what does TripAdvisor like about Spokane? They describe what the Lilac City has to offer in detail:
"Spokane has something for everyone—teenagers and adults will love the urban atmosphere, while there’s plenty of fun activities that are good for kids.
