Budget-friendly river city with big bar energy
Spokane is the Inland Northwest's biggest city with a revitalized downtown built around the Spokane River and its dramatic falls. The craft beer scene rivals Portland's but at half the price. Multiple ski resorts are within an hour, and the nightlife on Division and downtown punches well above its weight class.
