I went to college in Spokane back in the 80's and still enjoy going back to visit. I'm aware the drug and homeless problems have really picked up in the last few years, but I'm also impressed with how many more activities there are in the metro. Northern Quest Casino for casual gambling and concerts, the development of many, many hiking trails and the Centennial Trail; all of which did not exist even in the 90's.
The roads are still pretty bad on the side roads, but the main drags are better than when I lived there.
It must be the forested terrain, but there's something about Spokane I really miss. Yes, the winters are pretty long and the snow gets pretty deep. If you like winter sports, that's a plus!

A medium/small sized city with a heavier mono culture than the more coastal Seattle, however with enough diversity that it's possible to find a group that could be welcoming to a newcomer or traveler alike, though just.
Spokane driving has one main road serving as an artery north south and east west down the valley. Towards the end of winter I saw 3 separate accidents all from one vantage point. Driving attitude similar to general social attitude is a mix between overly polite, and aggressive. Aggressive driving behaviors during the spring and summer months are perhaps once to twice a month, in the fall there is a greater sense of calm and have seen more polite driving as time goes on.
The working environment in Spokane is quite poor, many businesses claim to be hiring or in desperate need of workers following the pandemic, however few actually are, or are being overly optimistic on the surface, or corporate level. The reality is the opposite. My experience here, extremely poor

A lake within hour drive in any direction, lot to do if you love the outdoors. Friendly city with a vibrant nightlife, and great place to raise a family.
I have lived here my whole life and appreciate the city amenities, access to most anything anyone could do in a larger metropolitan area, but with a smaller population and traffic that is not as stressful. Spokane is definitely growing, but the city planners seem to be anticipating this. A North-South freeway is under construction. Still. Been long in the works, but with the necessity of it on the increase we could look forward to its completion sooner than later,
I appreciate Spokane, and how far it is from the other side of the state where the largest population centers are. Lots to do, and healthy environment, and the Spokane aquifer is one of the cleanest drinking water sources in the world I learned in a community college environmental class a few years ago.
