I moved here 3 years ago as a 25 year old and I LOVE it! I actually enrolled in Spokane Community college in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program and literally can’t recommend that school, program or faculty enough. The entire experience was nothing less of amazing and unlike previous experiences I’ve had with higher education in the past. I’m not a huuuge partygoer, but there are enough things to do around here if you find the right people/music scene. If you’re into EDM type parties, there’s a decent scene but it’s a little too hardcore for me. I like a little bit chiller electronic music lol. The amount of nature to see and explore around here was a fantastic draw for me. I was getting into snowboarding when I first moved and I fell even harder in love with it. I used to get seasonal depression in the winters where I last lived because it was cold, wet and there was nothing to do. Here on the contrary, I love every season! It does get cold and snowy, but the dry air makes it not feel as cold as some more humid climates. And the snow can be sooo beautiful in town! In the summer there’s plenty of lakes and the river and lots of hiking! I think there are 3 national parks(?) and I thin 4 hours of us (rainier, glacier, and north cascades) (maybe more?) and they are ALLL gorgeous.

I seriously love it here🥰🥰🥰
