Spokane Falls
Park
0 mi
The Spokane Falls consists of the upper and lower falls on the Spokane River, making the Spokane Falls the largest urban waterfalls in the country. Located in the heart of downtown, there are multiple stunning viewpoints to see the falls.
It’s the sound that gets you first. A low rumble in the distance calls out to first-time visitors and locals alike. The Spokane Waterfalls build to a deafening crescendo the closer you get. Especially in May when the mountain snow runoff is at its peak. Its power alone leads us to understand why the Native American tribes considered the place sacred. Winding for miles through thick basalt formations, the Spokane River carves out a gorge dividing the bustle of the city with spectacular natural beauty. From the tribes who made it their annual meeting place to the present day, the Falls serve as a centerpiece for the city.

Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox
Theater
10 blks
Originally built as a 2300-seat movie theater, the renovated Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox seats approximately 1600, and serves as a much-needed mid-sized performance venue in the heart of the city. It has also become the home for the Spokane Symphony and several other local performing arts organizations.Mechanical, plumbing, electrical and ADA upgrades were essential to the Theater's new use as a performing arts venue. By reconfiguring the retail space that once ringed the building, the Theater gained much-needed space for additional dressing rooms, a staging area for catering, ticket office, storage, and an expanded lobby. One of the Theater’s most stunning features is its intricate art deco wall murals and ceiling. Years of accumulated cigarette smoke and popcorn grease had obscured the original vibrant colors of the decorative painting throughout the Theater. In addition, many of the murals had been covered with red paint during an attempt to modernize the color scheme at some time in the recent past. Restoration of these priceless Art Deco murals was accomplished with the help of a Save America's Treasures grant. The original hand-painted fire curtain was discovered in the Theater, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts aided in cleaning and restoring this magnificent piece of art.
