Spokane
Location
We know many fans will support a Worldcon that is in a location where they would like to vacation, and not to brag, but Spokane is the second largest city in Washington and the largest between Seattle and Minneapolis. Spokane offers the kinds of attractions and amenities you would expect from a city the size of Seattle but without all the rain and traffic. In fact, the average number of sunny days in Spokane is 260. Known for its untamed beauty and fantastic outdoor activities just minutes away, it is no wonder Spokane’s motto is: “Near nature, near perfect.”
The city of Spokane is very walkable. There are beautiful green spaces and short city blocks (averaging 280 feet) the walk from the hotels and convention center to shopping and dining will not be hard on the average Fen. There are many unique restaurants, art galleries, tasting rooms and shops open all weekend throughout the nearby area. This downtown doesn’t close up when the 9-5 businesses do.
