It's racists compared to the nearby townsSeattle has culture - Spokane has ignorant *sses galore trickling down from Idaho's hate!
Comment from : El

If you like historic houses and Native American/old west museums stop by the Campbell House in Brownes Addition The museum next to it used to be called the Cheney-Cowells Museum I think its called Northwest Museum now Anyway, there used to be a stagecoach on exhibit that bandits robbed They also murdered everyone on board The blood stains of the victims never came off It’s one of the strangest museum pieces I have ever seen I am a 5th generation native Washingtonian My family settled on Vashon Island, West Seattle, and the Columbia Basin I think that is what makes me a museum freak Love your channel Welcome to Washington #bringhomethesupersonics

Great video! My wife is a dark skinned immigrant and the whiteness of Spokane has us worried about living there, so hearing your experience is very helpful

i’ve lived in Spokane Washington since i was 6 and i’m 24 now Although, i love Spokane, i feel as though everyone has things they dislike about their town or city and i don’t have much to hate on i’m glad you loved it and felt comfortable! 🫶🏽

Sorry about being so close to Idaho, we don't like it either

As someone whose considering moving there, I appreciate this video

I've lived in Spokane since 1956 As has most of the country, the city has evolved over the years Riverfront Park is the site of a world's fair, Expo '74, which cleaned up the downtown area In the last couple of presidential elections, the city has actually voted blue, while the surrounding area ranges from pink to ruby red Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho are known for their tourism and arts community, but the politics of the state is very right wing

I've lived in Spokane for 25 years I don't understand your Idaho comment I go to Idaho all the time, and the people are great If you haven't been some place you shouldn't be negative about it Sandpoint is a tourist town, and Coeur D'Alene is a great little artsy town I hang out in Idaho more than I do in Washington I'm a woman of color, and I've never had a bad experience in Eastern Washington or Idaho I wish now I had bought my house in Idaho instead of Washington I do like that you came to Spokane and gave it a chance

I have visited Montesano and Aberdeen, WA I received plenty of uncomfortable looks from people, as if there never been non-whites in that area

Thank you 😊 💓

I live in Spokane and we are to close to Idaho They have a lot of racist history including the Aryan Nations' yearly parade held on Fourth of July in downtown CDA but people seem to ignore that A lot of people from Idaho complain about people from Washington coming to enjoy their lakes and other outdoor amenities but they commute to Washington for better wages
Comment from : Amber Best

Lmao I need to do a traveling while brown hahahaha Seriously if you come to idaho, go in the summer when stateline raceway is doing their races Super awesome family environment
Comment from : nehnehnehbatman

Moved here from CA Pleasantly surprised Loved your suggestions! ❤
Comment from : Lovely Indeed

Lived in Spokane my entire life I am white, so I didn’t experience racism, but it exists I was pretty lucky my family leans heavily to the left and welcoming diversity I agree with those who say it gets worse the closer you get to Idaho, and also further north Downtown is much more diverse and friendly to visitors with lots to dobrKudos for correct pronunciations and welcome to Spokane anytime!!
Comment from : Nancy Puyear

You should have gone to one of the places to in Spokane eat onion bar and grill don’t get me wrong There’s all kinds of great food in Spokane but the onion bar and grill is one of the best
Comment from : Darkstar301

Glad to hear you guys pronouncing Spokane correctly As someone who grew up here it's very annoying when people pronounce it Spoh-cane Grr
Comment from : Ami Bowen

I moved to Spokane in 2019 and I’m a black woman So far, everyone has been super nice There are a lot of white people but they haven’t made me feel like an outsider I laughed my ass off at the “4 outta 5” because Spokane is too close to Idaho Honestly, I feel like that every day, lol
Comment from : Misterkingdom

Came across your channel this morning I'm considering moving to Southwestern Washington The content on your channel is exactly what I'm looking for St Louis, MO is also my birthplace so shut out to the LOU! I'm currently living in Texas Keep up the great work!
Comment from : funnybidness1

I remember visiting when I was younger and we were ignored by a restaurant or two trying to get dinner I hope it's shapened up to be more BIPOC friendly! Glad your experience was positive - gives me hope
Comment from : B

Great video It's always cool to see the perspective of people from outside of Spokane I grew up in the Tricities area (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland) but I moved to Spokane back in 2017 And I don't regret the move I get why people on the west side are skeptical of the east side It's more conservative on the east side But Spokane is progressing It's a little city with big vibes There are also a ton of outdoor activities to do near the city and minimal traffic
Comment from : Braden Loveland

You have to live here to see just how horrible Spokane is Totally, 100 racist and just mean, angry people that reside mostly in the "burbs" of Spokane Glad you had a positive experience
Comment from : Una Carafea

So Spokane actually seemed more diverse than Seattle and it was not at all like how many Seattle-ites have described it to be like? That sounds about right In contrast, Seattle always used to be a fun place to visit Most people can't even say they want to visit Seattle anymore Sadly, decades of destructive liberal policies, the lack of consequences for criminals, and the enabling of drug addicts, has transformed Seattle into one of the least desirable places to live in WA state Most of my Seattle friends have either moved away already, or they are in the planning stages of moving away (and many have moved over to Spokane, the very place they used to look down upon and speak poorly of)
Comment from : Yippee Ki Yay Mr Falcon

As a mixed person who has lived in the Spokane/Northern Idaho area for over 15 years, the Spokane area is becoming a lot more diverse! Definitely still has it's racist parts but it's improved significantly Glad it went well for y'all!
Comment from : Andrea M

Seattle is a great place to live Much better than Spokane Idaho isn't good either
Comment from : Jon Harper

Lame
Comment from : Jon Harper

Happy to hear you guys had a good time while you were here! If you happen to find yourselves coming back, I would strongly recommend checking out the bar/venue The Big Dipper They always have fantastic shows going on from local artists like The Smokes, which is one of my personal favorites, to more well known groups like Powerman5000 I've been going there for over 15 years now, since I was a teen, and tickets have never been more than $10-15 at the door
Comment from : ARQPROJECT

Born and raised Spokane resident here Everything negative you hear from our city is entirely due to the divide in Idaho/Washington Idaho is 10 minutes away and littered with extreme right politics while our side tends to be more neutral but over the years I see spokane proper becoming more and more “liberal” in a sense It’s definitely a drastic change from 10-15 years ago!
Comment from : Andrew Curtis

Spokane is pretty great but yeh a bit close to Idaho for my liking
Comment from : A Pink Poodle

Great idea for a much needed perspective! It would add to the assessment re comfortability if you would talk to whichever black locals you can find to ask about their experiences living there👍🏽

Great video I’m adding Spokane to our travel list now
Comment from : James Baker

I’ve lived here for a while don’t like it here but I’m surprised y’all even wanted to visit
Comment from : Cyberneticheretic

I was born here & go back every year it definitely isn’t as bad as people make it seem I’m glad y’all enjoyed it! If y’all go back and find yourself in the mood for soul food , my uncle owns a restaurant called the soul lounge with great food!
Comment from : أمل دليلة

Next time you need to head to Lake Chelan! I would love to hear your thoughts as traveling while black
Comment from : Karel Sahlberg

I lived in Spokane for 3 years and had black and brown friends as well as white There is a lot to do in Spokane and I will say I ate out more and attended more events than I ever have in the 13 years I've lived in Burien, Federal Way and Olympia You're correct about waaayyyy more reasonable prices!
Comment from : Linda Gruen

The drive over the Colombia river is spectacular and the riverfront area in Spokane is great in the summer/ they have street festivals & lots of people around Everyone seems really friendly My kids go to college at Gonzaga, I think although primarily white, there are lots of students from all over the world represented Now, we crossed over into Idaho to see Lake Couer da lane, which is breathtaking, again, people were friendly, however, on our way back through the town, a group of trucks rolled through with confederate flags I tell my boys to stay on the Washington side of the border Thanks for the episode! LK (mixed race family)
Comment from : Leah Keala

Went there with my family a few years but didn't go to the riverfront Got to go back
Comment from : Megan Adams

hahaha! We actually stopped in Spokane and road the sky ride over the falls a few years ago on our way back from SilverWood Amusement Park in Idaho Both places seemed to be very welcoming But we were in the "tourist" areas only and only for the day
Comment from : Nicole T

Y’all are too close to Idaho…lol!! Facts! 😂🙌🏽
Comment from : Finessnu2

I’ve never been to the East Side even though I’ve lived here in WA for 25 years All of the warnings people gave me steered me away Because of y’all I’ll be making a drive out there soon! Great video as always and thank you for making videos like this for new Washingtonians but also us that have lived here all of our lives & were too scared to venture out! Y’all are amazing! 🙌🏾
