Spokane, what's it like?

PS: What most of these people said were lies. Like taking 45-60 mins to go up division from I90 during rush hour. LIE! Either that or your a dumb ass. Probably both. It can be annoying. But hell it is RUSH hour. A half hour tops. These are the most negative dub asses. I am so sorry you got the wrong information.

Spokane is a really great place to raise a family. It isn't perfect but it is nice especially the Northside. Mead School district has a great reputation and some of the colleges in and around Spokane are awesome. There is so much to do within a few hours. Smog, have you ever been to LA? I doubt it because if you had ever been there you wouldn't be making such ridiculous statements. Please do not get me started on smog..

Mountainhigh is absolutely correct in what he/she says and I can tell he has lived in a few states.. People that dislike the beauty of this area are very spoiled and are obviously very sheltered.. I would suggest that you go take a year trip around the US and then come back and post about Spokane. I bet your perspective will have changed...

You have your right to not like a certain area but please don't take away from those who like it and think it is beautiful.. Please go move or take your negativity elsewhere...

I have not ready through the many pages of posts, but I do agree with Raelyn28 here. We also lived in SoCal for 8 1/2 years (although we are originally from Spokane), and while there are things I really like about it there, I always wanted to come back to Spokane...and I still do. Spokane and the surrounding area cannot be beat for natural beauty and outdoor activities in such a beautiful, natural environment. There are tough spots in every city, but Spokane has so much to offer in every positive area of life I can think of that I just don't know of any place that could compare. I've lived in six different states and have traveled much of the country, and I agree that no other place is as beautiful and down-to-earth, and no other place offers such a well-rounded lifestyle to grow up in, to raise kids in, to retire in, whatever! I LOVE SPOKANE!!! And I hope to be able to soon say that I again live there.
