Spokane

Among Washington’s cities, Spokane stands out for the Spokane River and its falls running through downtown. Riverfront Park occupies the former grounds of Expo ’74, the world’s fair widely regarded as the first with an environmental theme; its paths link riverfront lawns, bridges and public art. The park’s Great Northern Clocktower, a remnant of a railway depot, is a familiar landmark. The city’s name reflects the Spokane Tribe, whose ancestral homeland includes this area. Spokane remains an urban centre for eastern Washington, shaped by rail-era growth and the river’s hydropower.
