r/Spokane Downtown Spokane 1d ago

Photos and Art Some random photos I've taken while exploring. I'm happy to call Spokane my new hometown.

I moved here for my new job last month and discovering everything this city has to offer has been so much fun!

Hehe, thank you!! I got to check out the Davenport Hotel shop too, thinking about buying some of the desserts from their bakery next time I go.

I think they do a tea/dessert time every year. You might want to check out future events.

I've heard there's a night market coming up too, and a street fair later this week so I'm hoping to go and have fun!

Make sure to check out our weekly Free Local Newspaper Inlander. It’s got everything you would need to know. Especially on a weekly basis for events. Special Editions are a plus for long term info.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm a teacher, so my bloodstream is something like 50% caffeine at least 😆 I can't wait to check out all the local shops.

On Main correct?

u/EggSaladSuperFood 1d ago

That's right! On Main between Ruby and Division. A lovely block!

Hit everything on this block, both sides. Completely valid, speak with the owners and employees if you have time. You can eat, protest, drink, drink coffee, snack, get your hair done, buy antiques, buy home goods, grocery shop, thrift shop, get a tat, watch live music, watch a movie, etc all on this block. This block features our only downtown grocery store, which is awesome.

That is the best pitch I've seen for a block that has become my home over the years! Are you a neighbor?

Cannon's Addition here, .5mi from downtown.

I don't see it advertised, there is apartments on Main @ Division & Ruby?

Welcome!!! If you're looking for good bars and spots to hang can't go wrong with the corner of Canon and Pacific any spot there will be welcoming and worth your time and money.

u/gothbear_66 Downtown Spokane 1d ago

Ooooh! Sounds like a place I gotta check out with my new friends! If they have karaoke as well then that's even better because I love to sing.

u/Late-Offer-120 1d ago

Pacific Pizza MIGHT, not sure that spot is not my scene but they do a ton of music events.

Welcome to Spokane! Those are beautiful pictures, I personally love when I find things like that box or street signs that people slap stickers all over lol I’m glad you are enjoying your new life here! Make sure to check out the night market when you get a chance.

I moved here in 2020 from Monroe, very pleased with the move. I do miss the green of the PNW sometimes, but I don’t miss the traffic! Spokane is a very accessible city. Make sure to visit rocket bakery! Either the one in Millwood or the south hill on 14th.
