Just doing a quick check as I'll be out in Spokane this summer (Mid July- Mid Aug) for a short time for training at my new job.
Anyone out in that area?

Hi Metal I do think there is a poster on the forum who lives in Spokane. I grew up there
but when I went back for my 20-year high school reunion, the downtown shopping area had changed so much that I couldnt even get my bearings!
I wasnt old enough to go clubbing when I lived there, so I cant be of much help in terms of the local music scene. However, if you see the Spokane Opera House, you will be at the site of my first concert Night Ranger, Keel and BlacknBlue.
At the end of July, there is a very cool Baroque arts festival that takes place downtown at Riverfront Park. A couple of favorite downtown restaurants that are still standing are Cyrus OLearys and Clinkerdaggers. Summertime is Huckleberry season, so if you find Huckleberry *anything* on the menu, definitely take advantage!
If you are willing to spend a couple of hours in a car, there are a lot of cool day trip opportunities. We used to go to Pend Orielle Lake in Sandpoint, Idaho a lot when I was growing up. Also, Coeur dAlene, ID was quite the sleepy little town when I was living in WA, but apparently it is now quite the trendy place to be, with incredibly expensive homes.
Enjoy wish I was going with you! (Its 113 degrees in Phoenix today).

Thanks! I've heard that Couer d'Alene is quite the place to go as well. Not sure what the car situation will be, but I'd kind of like to get to Seattle to see if I can find Layne Staley's tombstone.
Thanks for the tips though.
I won't be there until Mid Aug. most likely.

Seattle would be a lot harder to do as a day trip, although its a fabulous area in the summer if you have time to stay a day or two.
Interesting story when I was growing up, my family used to trek from Spokane to Seattle a couple of times a year. When I went back for my 10-year reunion, I flew into Seattle to visit with a friend for a few days, and then she was going to drive me to Spokane.
We got into an argument when discussing what time to leave, because I thought she was cutting it WAY too close for me to get to the opening reception on time. She insisted that it took 4 ½ hours to travel from Seattle to Spokane, and I swore that it took 6.
Finally, she said, Kimberly, you are NOT riding in your parents station wagon on this trip.
Oh.
End of argument. 
I'm good now. Just found out there's a SONIC in Spokane!
Between work and Hotel, you'll find me at Sonic!
