Spokane: There's No Competition
Located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Spokane prides itself in being the perfect destination by providing athletes with a lively, unique experience. The city draws from nearly half-a-million regional residents who consider our city in eastern Washington their home or favorite destination for travel, shopping, entertainment, and of course, sporting events.
From the moment they touch down to the minute they wave their goodbyes, athletes rave about the experience in Spokane.
Vibrant, Walkable City
The downtown experience in Spokane is hard to beat. Athletes enjoy restaurants, dining, entertainment, lodging, and retail all just steps from the region's largest sports venues. The city embraces sports competitions, creating an energetic and friendly backdrop for championship events. Plus, right in the heart of downtown is Riverfront Park, making National Geographic’s list of America’s most beautiful urban parks in 2020.
Traditional to Trendy Flavors
Spokane’s dining scene compares to those found in larger, expected culinary hotspots like New York and San Francisco. From cozy and delicious gastropubs, to exhilarating fusion fare, to organic coffee houses, craft breweries, and award-winning wineries, Spokane feeds the stomach and the soul, no matter what your taste or style.
Remarkable Lodging
More than 7,500 rooms, from economic name brands with athlete-centric services to five-star award-winning luxury properties, Spokane has options for all types of athletes and fans—all at rates traditionally lower than larger metropolitan areas. Plus, many are within walking distance of our most popular sporting venues.
Easy Travel
With Spokane International Airport (GEG) just a ten minute drive from downtown and Interstate 90 running right through the city, travel to and from Spokane is smooth and easy. Travelers from all around the U.S find driving in Spokane's traffic and toll-free roads a vacation in itself.
Spokane, A Perfect Landscape for Sports
Spokane has four distinct seasons with just-right temperatures and low humidity. These predictable seasons make planning easy, travel a breeze, and activities such as golf, cycling, running, snow sports, and outdoor field and court sports a perfect match. Spokane’s natural playground includes five ski resorts, more than three dozen golf courses, hundreds of miles of paved and single-track bike routes, mile-high mountains for hiking and 76 lakes and rivers for the water adventures. If you are participating in a sports event in Spokane, we suggest planning a vacation around the event and making your stay a full-on holiday. Bring your family and enjoy everything Washington State has to offer, whether it be summer or winter.
