Spokane is a city located in
Eastern Washington. The
seat of
Spokane County, Spokane is the metropolitan center of the
Inland Northwest, the second largest city in
Washington state, and the fourth largest city in the
Pacific Northwest region of the
United States. The most recent US Census figures, released in July of 2006, show that the city's population has increased to about 198,000, while recent state figures put the city's population over 202,000. Estimates show nearly a half a million people reside in Spokane County (Spokane's official metropolitan area as recognized by the
U.S. Census). The
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho metropolitan area is not recognized as a part of the Spokane metropolitan area mainly because it is on the other side of the Washington-Idaho state line, but the two areas are unified economically, and if combined, would account for a metro population of nearly 600,000 people. The Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area is also the fourth largest in the
Pacific Northwest after
Seattle,
Vancouver, Canada, and
Portland, Oregon.
