Spokane, Washington, shines in summer. USA Today just named it #7 on its list of best summer escapes, and Yahoo! Travel says it’s the #1 best budget-friendly trip you can take with your family. Squeeze in a quick getaway before it’s over!
Start in the city’s 100-acre jewel, Riverfront Park. The former site of the 1974 World’s Fair, the park hosts outdoor concerts and festivals. Don’t forget to feed the Garbage Goat, take a spin on the Looff Carrousel, and float over the Spokane Falls in the Numerica SkyRide. Try an outdoor concert at the BECU Live outdoor concert venue at Northern Quest Resort & Casino. Stay at the Ruby River Hotel and enjoy the resort-like pool scene along the banks of the Spokane River.
The city's thriving dining scene, lively nightlife, and proximity to 76 lakes make it the prime spot to soak up the last of the summer season.
