When to Visit:
Spokane is four-season country,
each contributing to the region’s unique lifestyle. Situated between the Rocky
and Cascade mountain ranges, Spokane is protected from damp coastal weather like
that of Seattle, as well as continental-type winters. The growing season extends
from mid-April to mid-October. Summer weather is ideal for enjoying the many
mountain and lake recreational areas. Winter weather includes occasional
snowfalls of several inches. Nearby mountainous winter sport areas receive a
great deal more snow and sometimes enjoy a five- to six-month season.
