Spokane
Lilac City's location
Spokane is a city in eastern Washington State, the largest between Seattle and Minneapolis.
It sits near the falls of the Spokane River and serves as the commercial hub of the Inland Northwest: We drove to Spokane for the weekend.
The name comes from the Spokane people, a Salish-speaking tribe native to the region.
