Spokane | PLACE

 

Spokane (pronounced spō-CAN [spoʊ ˈkæn]) is the second largest city in Washington state, the third largest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and the metropolitan center of the Inland Northwest. It is the county seat of Spokane County in the State of Washington, USA. It was originally incorporated as "Spokan Falls" (without an 'e' at the end), drawing on the Native American tribe known as the Spokane, which means "Children of the Sun.” It is often mispronounced "Spo-cane"; however, it is correctly pronounced "spo-can".
