Welcome to Spokane, Washington — a city where nature and culture meet in the most dramatic way possible. I’m your UCPlaces tour guide, and we’re about to explore one of the most beautiful urban landscapes in the Pacific Northwest — a place where waterfalls roar through downtown, historic architecture lines the streets, and green parks seem to pop up around every corner. Spokane sits along the Spokane River, a force of nature that has shaped this city for thousands of years. The river powered its early industries, inspired its name — which comes from the Spokane Tribe’s word meaning Children of the Sun — and still provides the backdrop for everyday life here. On this drive, we’ll follow that river’s path through the heart of the city and into its scenic bluffs. You’ll see Spokane Falls thundering beneath bridges, the elegant Davenport Hotel — the city’s Grand Dame — the peaceful gardens of Manito Park, and the breathtaking overlook along High Drive Bluff, where the valley stretches endlessly below. Along the way, you’ll discover how this former frontier town grew into a vibrant, creative community — one that honors its past while embracing everything new and outdoorsy. So settle in and enjoy the ride — keep your eyes on the road, but make sure someone else in the car has their camera ready. Spokane’s full of sights worth remembering.

Seattle’s story is one of innovation and tradition, from its Indigenous roots and maritime legacy to its role in shaping music, tech, and pop culture. Along the way, we’ll explore vibrant neighborhoods, historic landmarks, and the dynamic atmosphere that defines this one-of-a-kind city.
