Washington's Spokane Area
...and its wineries

       Spokane takes its name from the Native American tribe that makes its home in the area.  In English, the name translates as "Children of the Sun."  The Spokane River, a major tributary of the Columbia River, passes through the city of Spokane, tumbling through a series of dramatic falls in the heart of Downtown.  One of the most spectacular falls can be found at the western end of Riverfront Park, a 100-acre urban park located on the site of the Expo '74 World's Fair.

       This second-largest city of Washington is located in the heart of the Inland Northwest and sits at the east edge of the Columbia Plateau's wheat farms and steppe, where they meet the forested Rocky Mountain foothills... the Selkirk Mountains.  The jewel of the City is its extensive park system, great places to take a break or enjoy a picnic while you are in town.  It was Spokane's board of park commissioners that had the foresite -- in 1907(!) -- to hire professionals to draw up a plan for Spokane parks.  Today, Spokane has a system of 75 parks totaling 3,500 acres, with parks ranging in size from the quarter-acre Skeet-So-Mish Park playground to the 464-acre Palisades Park conservation area.

       Spokane has a continental, semi-arid climate, with moderately cold winters and warm summers. The Cascade mountains to the west shield it from the direct modifying effect of Pacific Ocean air, and Idaho's Mountains to the east help protect it from the worst effects of arctic air in winter.  Yet grape growing is absent in the region;  wineries use grapes purchased from growing regions in Eastern Washington and Southern Idaho.
