You are dead wrong. Seattle itself has over 48,000 blacks and there are more in the suburbs.

Salt Lake City's black population: 2,900+ blacks

What is it about Spokane(other than demographics) that would make it not so good?

I went to college in Louisiana at an HBCU and can tell you that culturally Seattle and the South are night and day different. So be prepared for culture shock. Anyways, my father works at the UW so if you have any further questions or details send me a private message.

I used to live in Everett,WA and I liked. I'm thinking about going back to the Pacific Northwest myself, among other places.

Salt Lake doesn't have a lot of blacks, but has a fairly diverse non-white population which is about as large as Seattle's, a city that is MUCH larger.

Here are some comparisons with cities more Seattle's size:

Denver (pop. 554,636)Races in Denver:

White Non-Hispanic (51.9%)
Hispanic (31.7%)
Other race (15.6%)
Black (11.1%)

Other race (4.1%)
Other Asian (3.6%)
American Indian (3.3%)
Chinese (0.6%)
Vietnamese (0.6%)
U.S. rank in 2000: 45th

All numbers from city-data
The pictures that pwright1 submitted certainly do not show many blacks or any other races for that matter.
