As the largest city and county seat of Spokane County, Washington, and second-largest city in the state, Spokane marries the excitement of urban life with the grandeur of America's great outdoors. Besides its renowned reputation as the birthplace of Father's Day, the city is also the economic and cultural hub of the Spokane Metropolitan Area and the Inland Northwest.

Boasting a rich history, the story of Spokane begins with its original inhabitants, the Spokane tribe, whose name translates to "children of the sun" in Salishan. Latterly, the Northern Pacific Railway brought settlers and with it, a boom in the city's growth in the late 19th Century. The city's economy initially leaned heavily on mining, timber and agriculture. However, a fiery disaster in 1889 led to a flourished rebuilding and development boom in the city's downtown area.

Today, Spokane is known for hosting the world's largest basketball tournament, The Spokane Hoopfest, earning its nickname as Hooptown USA, and is home to some remarkable institutions such as Gonzaga University and Whitworth University. Sports fans can also take in a game from Spokane's professional and semi-professional teams, such as the Spokane Indians and Spokane Chiefs. Also, the city boasts several key landmarks, including the Riverfront and Manito parks and the Fox and Bing Crosby theatres, giving visitors countless sources of entertainment, education and enlightenment.
