When I was at Fairchild AFB for SERE training we had a break before it started and we got a ride into Spokane's Downtown. Immediately upon exiting the vehicle we saw a guy in front of a bar getting beat up by several people surrounding him and kicking him. Across the street a guy was staring at us and then lifted up his shirt to flash a piece. That combined with the memories of SERE training make me never want to return.

Spokane is great, so long as you don't need a job

You might be able to make $80k as an engineer if you really push for it

You can buy a lordly mansion for $700k and the floor's the limit on normal houses

Spokane seemed to have many pretty parts but many violent aggressive guys on the streets and apparently a huge problem with violent white nationalists from what I understand
