If you are visiting
Spokane in the Summer you really can't understand. It gets C O L D in
Spokane in the winter. But, as usual, they have a solution. You will
notice, downtown, all the covered walkways crossing over the streets
connecting the buildings. These 'skywalks' not only connect buildings,
they connect entire blocks. The intent was to allow folks to shop downtown
without having to brave the cold in the streets going from one store to
another. But the skywalks are just as useful in the summer. Ah, we're
certainly creatures enjoying our little comforts.

Visitors' Center
- From I-90 take exit 281 to Division Street (US-2/395). Keep to the left
on the off-ramp to allow you to turn left (northbound) onto S. Division
Street. Turn left, get in the middle lane and head north to downtown.
After you drive under the railroad trestle at Sprague Ave, merge into the
left lane of Division and drive 3 more blocks to Trent Avenue. Turn left,
go one block, turn left again and move to the right lane. The Spokane
Convention and Visitors' Bureau is on your right at the next corner ( 201
West Main Street). The reason for (what appear to be) confused directions
is that these are all one-way streets. Phone the folks at the Visitors'
Center (toll free) at 1-888-776-5263. Though we found their official web
site pretty but less than helpful; in person or on the phone they are
great!
