They are the best. We’ve been there for the last few years . . . Both my husband and I have dropped off and picked up and have developed friendships with a lot of the employees, that I hope continues. My daughter is 4 and was there from 4 months old and my son is 1 and also started at 4 months. They have always communicated clearly with us the new guidelines that were set forth by the Health Department. They have always worked with us whenever our kids moved rooms. My husband and I both work so we were extremely grateful they stayed open even if we had to adjust our schedules for a little while.

I’ve had three boys at LCELC, ages four months to five years. All three were foster kiddos and one had very big behaviors. Colleen always worked with their schedules and did anything she could think of to help. She was patient with my tough kiddo and just showed him so much love. All of the girls were wonderful and taught and nurtured and bonded with my boys in their own special way. Tomorrow we get to adopt two of those boys and we will be leaving the center. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful place it is and the great ladies who work there. We will miss you all so much and thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of my boys!!!!

Wonderful people! Wonderful environment! Having my son in daycare was always a tug-of-war battle in my brain, and I’m so glad I committed. I feel 100% confident and safe leaving my son with this educated and truly loving staff. My son has thrived in this environment, started talking and developing far faster than what I could do on my own being home with him. Thanks, Lilac City Early Learning Center, for your genuine kindness and sincerity and knowledge to help my son grow!

Spokane, USA – travel on the map km (110 miles) from the northern border with Canada. It is located on the river of the same name and is the center of the so-called Inland Northwest region (Eng. Inland Northwest). It is the largest city and county seat of Spokane County.
David Thompson explored the Spokane area and established the European settlement during the western expansion of the North West Company and the construction of Spokane House in 1810. This trading post was the first long-term European settlement in Washington and for 16 years was the center of the fur trade between the Rocky and Cascade Mountains. At the end of 19centuries, gold and silver were discovered here. The area around Spokane is considered one of the most productive mining regions in North America. Spokane’s economy has long been dependent on the price of natural resources; however, subsequently there was a diversification of industries and now high-tech areas are actively developing in the city.
The City of Spokane (originally called Spokane Falls) was founded in 1871 and officially became a city in 1881. The name of the city comes from the Spokane Indian tribe, which translates from the language of the local Salish Indians as “Children of the Sun.” The city has also been given the name “Lilac City” because of the many lilacs grown in the area since the early twentieth century. The completion of the North Pacific Railroad in 1881 significantly boosted Spokane’s population due to the city’s strategic position as a major railroad hub. Spokane is also known as the founder of Fathers Day, which is celebrated every year in June.
The city has a population of 208,916 as of the 2010 US Census, making it the second largest city in Washington State and the third largest in the American Pacific Northwest after Seattle and Portland. Spokane is the 104th most populous city in the United States and serves as the central city of the Spokane Metropolitan Statistical Area (ISA), which coincides with the borders of Spokane County. In 2010, the county’s population was 471,221.
Directly to the east of Spokane County is the Coeur d’Alene Metropolitan Statistical District, which consists entirely of Kootenay County; the total population of the two districts in 2010 was 609715 people, which is the fourth highest number in the Northwest, after Seattle, Portland and Vancouver. The federal government and the Department of Management and Budget plan to formally merge the Spokane City Statistical District with Kootenay County when the 2010 Census results are confirmed. The new district will most likely be named “Spokane-Coeur-d’Alene Urban Statistical District.” It is expected that this will happen no later than 2013, and the population by then will exceed 650,000 inhabitants.
History
The first people settled in Spokane 8-12 thousand years ago. These were communities of hunters and gatherers who were attracted to the fertile lands of the region. Over time, the forests began to deplete and Native American tribes became more dependent on the extraction of root vegetables, berries and fish. It is believed that the tribe of Spokane, after which the city was later named, was a direct descendant of the tribes of hunters and gatherers or descendants of tribes from the Great Plains. The first European explorers learned from local tribes that their ancestors had come “from the north”. Spokane’s waterfalls were the center of trade and fishing for local tribes.
In the early 19th century, the Northwest Company sent two fur hunters west of the Rocky Mountains in search of fur hunting grounds. These hunters were the first white people to meet the Spokane tribe. The Indians considered them Sama to be saints and asked them to stay for the winter in the Colville River valley. Later, the tribe saw that the guests did not bring them any “big magic”, as their fellow tribesmen continued to die en masse from syphilis, the epidemic of which first broke out in 1782, taking the lives of more than half of the tribe’s inhabitants.
Trading Post
The Inner Northwest was first explored by geographer David Thompson, who was head of the Northwest Company in the District of Columbia. Crossing the present day Canadian-American border from British Columbia, Thompson wanted to expand the Northwest Company’s operations further south, in search of fur hunting grounds, mainly for beavers. After establishing the trading posts of Callispell House and Salish House in what is now Idaho and Montana, Thompson wanted to expand even further west. In 1810, Thompson sent hunters Jacques Raphael Finlay and Finan McDonald to the Spokane River to build a trading post in eastern Washington that was to be used for trading with the local Spokane and Colville Indian tribes.
At the confluence of the Little Spokane and Spokane, Finlay and McDonald built a new trading post that became the first long-term European settlement in Washington State. This trading post, known as Spokane House or simply Spokane, operated from 1810 to 1826. Spokane House, operated by the British North West Company and later the Hudson’s Bay Company, was the center of the fur trade between the Rocky and Cascade Mountains for 16 years. Following the takeover of the North West Company by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1821, operations were moved from Spokane House to Fort Colville; however, the company subsequently continued to operate near Spokane.
American Settlement
Anglo-American joint possession of the Oregon lands, operating under the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, eventually led to a dispute over the Oregon boundary due to the large influx of American settlers who arrived via the Oregon Route. The dispute ended with the signing of the Treaty of Oregon in 1846, according to which Great Britain ceded all rights to the lands south of the 49th parallel, the modern border with Canada.
The first American settlers, squatters JJ Downing and C.R. Scranton, occupied the Spokane Falls site in 1871. Together they built a small sawmill on a site near the south shore of the Spokane Falls. Oregonians James N. Glover and Jasper Matini, who crossed the region in 1873, appreciated the importance of the Spokane River and its waterfalls. They saw investment potential and bought the 160-acre (0.65 km²) site and sawmill from Downing and Scranton for $4,000. Glover and Matini knew that the Northern Pacific Railroad Company had received a government order to build a northbound line. Glover later became known as the “Father of Spokane”.
On October 21, 1880, the US Army under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Clay Merriam established Camp Spokane 56 miles (90 km) northwest of Spokane at the mouth of the Columbia and Spokane rivers. The camp’s strategic position was determined by the need to protect the Northern Pacific Railroad and protect American settlements.
Spokane ok. 1895
By 1881, the Northern Pacific Railroad was completed, bringing European settlers to the area. City of Spokane Falls (which was renamed Spokane in 1891) was officially founded on November 29, 1881, with a population of about 1,000. The urban population rapidly increased to 19,922 by 1890, and to 36,848 by 1900, thanks to the presence of the railroad. This attracted settlers both from nearby regions (Minnesota, South and North Dakota) and from distant countries – Finland, Germany and England. By 1910 the population had reached 104,000; the development of the Northern Pacific Railroad helped the city of Spokane surpass the city of Walla Walla as the commercial center of the Inner Northwest region.
Spokane expanded relentlessly until August 4, 1889, when the fire that is today known as the Great Fire started around 6:00 am and destroyed the central commercial part of the city. Due to technical problems that arose at the pumping station, there was no pressure in the city’s water supply network at the time the fire started. In an attempt to prevent the spread of fire, firefighters began to destroy buildings with dynamite. Despite these measures, the fire continued to expand, leaping across the cleared spaces. When the volunteers tried to put out the flames, they found that their hoses were not suitable for this purpose. As a result, due to the fact that the gusts of wind subsided, the fire stopped by itself. The consequence of the fire was the destruction of 32 quarters and the death of one person.
Despite the significant damage caused by the fire, Spokane has not stopped in its development; the fire cleared the way for a large building boom. After the Great Fire of 1889 and the rebuilding of the downtown area, it was re-incorporated under its modern name “Spokane” in 1891. Just three years after the fire, in 1892, James J. Hill’s Great Northern Railroad reached the newly founded town of Hillyard (which had been swallowed up by Spokane in 1919).24) – this place was chosen for the construction of workshops and depots due to the flat terrain. The presence of a railway line contributed to the transformation of the city into an important transport hub for the entire Inner North-Western region. Due to its position between a farming and mining region, Spokane has developed into an important rail and logistics hub. With the arrival of rail operators such as Northern Pacific, Union Pacific Railroad, Great Northern, and Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific, Spokane has become one of the most important railroad centers in the Western United States.
20th century
Spokane is known as the “home of Fathers Day”. Spokane resident Sonora Smart Dodd is considered the founder of this annual holiday. Often referred to as “Fathers Day Mom”, Sonora was aged 16 when her mother died, leaving her father to raise Sonora and her 5 younger brothers on a remote farm in eastern Washington. In 1909, when Sonora heard a Mother’s Day sermon at the Central United Methodist Church in Spokane, she was inspired to offer the same respect for fathers. The following year, she pitched her idea to the local YMCA, which, along with the Ministerial Alliance, supported her idea and helped organize the celebration for the first time in 1910 in Spokane. Sonora suggested celebrating the holiday on her father’s birthday, June 5th. However, the pastors needed more time to prepare, and so the first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910.
The growth and development of the city of Spokane was abruptly halted in the second decade of the twentieth century, which was also accompanied by a decline in population. This was largely due to the slowdown in the economy. Control over local mines and resource extraction passed into the hands of large national companies, which removed the received capital from the city, thus reducing the development of investment at the local level. In the 1920s and 1930s, there was very little growth, also due to the negative economic environment. The Inner Northwest region was heavily dependent on significantly reduced demand for minerals, as well as agricultural and forestry products. The situation in Spokane improved after the outbreak of World War II, as aluminum production was established in the Spokane Valley, driven by the low cost of electricity in the region and increased demand for aircraft.
After decades of stagnation and slow growth, Spokane’s businessmen, led by King Cole, established Spokane Unlimited, an organization that was supposed to revitalize business activity in the inner city. After a hard struggle, a well-deserved success came in the form of the construction of a new parking lot in 1965. Soon, efforts to revitalize the economy were focused on improving Havermale Island in the inner city, where the railroad depots and warehouses were located. A theme park showcasing the Spokane Falls was chosen as the best option, and the organization was able to convince railroad companies to move their infrastructure off the island. In the 1970s, Spokane was approaching its centenary celebration and Spokane Unlimited hired a private firm to prepare and host the celebration and fair. The firm offered to organize an international exhibition, which led to the holding of Expo’74.
Spokane hosted the first international environmental expo in 1974, becoming the smallest city to host an International Exposition. Expo’74 also became the first American exhibition held after the Second World War, which was attended by representatives of the USSR. This event changed the city center, removing from the face of the city an entire century of the railway industry that created this city, and transforming the look of its central part. After Expo’74, the exhibition area turned into Riverfront Park, an area of 100 acres (0.4 km²). The late 70s was a period of growth for Spokane, which led to the construction of two of the tallest buildings in the city in the early 80s, the 18-story Farm Credit Bank building and the 20-story Seafest Financial Center building, where the Bank of -America.
The success of this period was again interrupted by the economic recession, during which the prices of silver, wood, and agricultural products fell significantly. Despite this difficult period, Spokane’s economy began to benefit from diversification, thanks to the city’s presence of growing companies such as Key Tronic and the presence of scientific, marketing and manufacturing capacity for other technology companies, which helped reduce Spokane’s dependence on demand for natural resources.
21st Century
Downtown Spokane has experienced a global rebirth in recent years, driven by a $3 billion investment and the completion of the River Park Square Mall. The old The Davenport Hotel (Spokane) The Davenport Hotel, designed by Kirtland Cutter, went through a complete renovation in 2002 after 20 years of inactivity. Other major projects include the renovation of the Holley Mason Building, the construction of the Big Easy Concert Hall (now known as the Knitting Factory), the expansion of the Spokane Convention Center, and the restoration of the historic Montvale Hotel and Fox Theater (now known as the home of the Spokane Symphony). New construction projects are under development. Local developer Rob Brewster has proposed building a new VOX Tower that could be the tallest structure in the city. The height of all new buildings is regulated by city building codes.
The construction of Kendall Yards in western Spokane (along the north bank of the Spokane River) will be one of the largest construction projects in the city’s history. Construction on the opposite bank of the Spokane River from the center will combine residential and commercial areas, as well as the creation of squares and places for promenade. Upon completion, the Kendall Yards project, located on 80 acres (0.32 km²), will consist of 2,600 residential units and approximately 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m²) of office, commercial and retail space.
In January 2011, an attempted terrorist attack was foiled in Spokane.
On February 6, 2015, a strange whitish soda “mud rain” fell over the city. A few months later, scientists explained its origin: a storm that arose over the alkaline Summer Lake in Oregon carried a large amount of dust, consisting mainly of sodium carbonate, up to 800 kilometers from the lake, the dirt mixed with a rain cloud, which led to unusual precipitation over at least 15 cities in three states.

Culture
Northwest Museum of Art and Culture
Spokane is heavily influenced by climate and geography. Spokane is located in the 4-season climate zone, close to a large number of rivers and lakes where you can swim, boat, go fishing and rafting. Not far from the city there is a mountainous area where you can ski, walk or bike. A short drive from the city, residents and visitors alike can visit 76 lakes, 33 golf courses, 11 wineries, 5 ski resorts, 5 major national parks, the Columbia River Gorge, and the Grand Coulee Dam. Glacier National Park is a four-hour drive from Spokane, while Mount Rainier National Park and North Cascades National Park are four and a half hours from the city. In less than eight hours, other parks can be reached, including Yellowstone National Park, and Canada’s Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Spokane offers all the pleasures of the big city, combined with the traditions and activities of a small town. The National Civic League gave the city an All-American City Award in 1974 and 2004. The National Civic League is an organization that recognizes communities of citizens who work together to define important societal goals and achieve significant results in their solution. The city has several museums, the main ones being the Northwest Museum of Culture and Arts (MAC), the Smithsonian Museum, which houses a large collection of Native American artifacts and regional and national examples of various art forms. Located in Browne’s Addition among Spokane’s golden age (19th century) structures, the museum is just a few blocks from downtown.
Arts and Theater
Spokane has a wide variety of visual arts venues as well as stages for theater performances. Such attractions are the main city theater, several smaller theaters, the Spokane Symphony Orchestra, a jazz orchestra, an opera house and other musical venues. However, the Spokane music community is in need of what they call an established venue for musical performances for different age groups.
Spokane has some very vibrant cultural events. The main dates for cultural events (the first Friday of February and October) attract huge crowds in the arts quarters. These areas are Davenport, Garland Business and East Sprague. On the first Friday of every month, processions of local artists showcase their skills throughout the city center. Many art galleries can be found in the Davenport area, as well as some of the main theater venues.
Spokane offers a variety of bands to meet the widest possible audience. The Spokane Symphony Orchestra represents all facets of classical music, while the Spokane Jazz Orchestra plays jazz music. The Symphony Orchestra is a non-profit organization that was established in 1945 and was called the Spokane Philharmonic. The Spokane Jazz Band is also a non-profit organization, formed in 1962, which is recognized throughout the country as the oldest group, which consists of 17 people and conducts continuous performances, at a professional level, with the support of their fellow countrymen.
The theater is organized by the only local professional company, Interplayers Ensemble. Theater events are also hosted by the Spokane Civic Theater and several amateur theaters and small groups. The Fox Theatre, which has been restored to its original 1931 Art Deco appearance, is now the home stage of the Spokane Symphony Orchestra. The City Center for the Arts was restored in 1988 and renamed in 2006 as the Spokane native Bing Crosby Theatre.
Parks and Recreation
Spokane and its surroundings offer a plethora of outdoor activities that cater to the tastes of the widest range of people – miles of walking trails, many lakes for fishing and water activities, and several large parks. In 1907, the Spokane Parks Commission hired the Olmsted Brothers to develop a plan to create city parks. A large number of park areas were organized by the city even before the First World War, which put the city among the leaders in the development of park systems among all Western cities. Today, Spokane has over 75 parks totaling 3,488 acres (14.12 km²). The city’s most notable parks include: Riverfront Park (Spokane) Riverfront Park, Manito Park and Botanical Gardens, Riverside Park, Mount Spokane Park, St. Michael’s Mission Park, Bowl & Pitcher Park, and John Finch Arboretum.
Riverfront Park, created after Expo ’74 on the same site, occupies 100 acres (0.4 km²) of downtown and is the center of the city’s largest events. From the park you can see the Spokane Falls, as well as visit a number of attractions, such as Skyride (Skyride), simulating a gondola ride on a turbulent river, a 5-story IMAX cinema, and a small amusement park (which turns into an ice skating rink in winter). The park hosts all kinds of family entertainment and major city events such as the Bloom Day run, street basketball competition, IMAX Film Festival, Spokane Music Festival, Pig Out in the Park, Restaurant Show, Pow Wow, Spokane First Night, street concerts, and other public events. The park also houses the handcrafted Riverfront Park carousel, created in 1909 by Charles Luff as a wedding present for his daughter. The carousel is still in operation and visitors can take part in the ring catching contest. Whoever is lucky enough to catch the ring gets a free ride on the carousel. Riverfront Park offers beautiful views of the Spokane Falls as well as the very beautiful Spokane River area. Manito Park, in the South Hill area, offers visitors to admire the duck lake, the Dr. David Geyser Central Conservatory, the classical Renaissance-style Duncan Garden, and the Japanese Nishinomiya Garden, created by Nagao Sakurai. Riverside Park is a scenic park located near the central part of the city where you can walk, mountain bike and raft. The John Finch Arboretum is a public park with 57 acres (0.23 km²) of rare local flora and fauna.
During the warm season, Spokane has 6 new aqua centers, including Comstock Park Pool, with its historic baths. In 2008, voters approved a $43 million loan that enabled a complete renovation of the city’s swimming pools and the creation of a new facility near Shadle Park High School.
An even more active way to experience the natural attractions of the Spokane region is to travel the Spokane Centenary River Trail, which is about 37 miles (60 km) of hiking trails along the Spokane River from Sontag Park in western Spokane to the eastern shore of Ker Lake d’Alene in Idaho. This trail goes further under the name of the North Idaho Centenary Trail and is often used for all kinds of outdoor activities such as running, walking, biking or rollerblading.
In addition to the city’s park systems, there are many places for outdoor recreation outside the city. The Spokane area is home to several rivers and 76 lakes where you can swim, enjoy water sports and rafting, fish and camp. In the summer, those who wish can visit both the fairly large lakes of northern Idaho (Lake Coeur d’Alene, Lake Pand Ouray, Lake Priest), as well as smaller reservoirs.
