Spokane is located in the heart of the Inland Northwest and is the second most populous city in Washington. The Spokane River runs through the city and beautiful Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane. 

This year the city is celebrating the 50 anniversary of the EXPO '74, a world's fair held May 4, 1974, to November 3, 1974.

Spokane, like many towns in the American West, was transformed by its rail industry. The Great Northern Depot Tower is about all that remains from the era of railroading that occupied what is now Riverfront Park, the site of the Expo ‘74 world’s fair. On both sides of the historic Clock Tower, the Great Northern Depot once welcomed train passengers to the Pacific Northwest.
However, in order to make room for Expo ‘74, the city tore up the tracks and leveled the train station.

Fortunately, the Clock Tower was spared and has become one of the most recognizable parts of the Spokane skyline.
