Spokane
,no edit summary
'''{{Spokane}}''' is a city in [[Washington]].
== Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Seattle]] ===
A page on digihitch recommends the 276 Exit near the airport. I waited here five hours with only an offer to the next town over. The nearby truckstop is unfriendly to hitchhikers, and even has a "No Hitchhiking" sign in the window (the first I can ever recall seeing in a business). There is another exit with truck stops a little further down the road (Exit 272) which may be better.
I did not try downtown, but be advised that there is little room to pull over on downtown onramps, and locals warned me that police harassment is common.
== Places to avoid ==
Avoid the whole city, unless you have a very good reason to be there.
== Accommodation and Sleep ==
Camp away from the downtown, as there is a meth problem here and aggressive police as well.
== Other Information ==
I have never seen so many railcops in one city.
