Spokane, WA


Kathy Graebl has an adorable vintage house in Spokane and a busy yellow lab named Nisqually. “Nisser” is also the mascot for a mountain gear distribution company called Summit Dog that she owns with Mike (from the Coleman 50/50 challenge). Kathy put us up for the first night of our cross-country trek, and showed us a bit of the cow town of Spokane. We had such a nice time, we decided to stay a second night.

Spokane sights: a handful of nice parks, a steel sculpture of runners (by the same artist who did the Wild Horses monument near the Columbia River Valley), and at least a one really great restaurant (see below).

Our first night in Spokane, Kathy introduced us to a restaurant called Scratch (or at least the bar affiliated with it). All the food is “made from scratch” and is reasonably priced and tasty. If you get to Spokane, check 'em out.
