And a little bit haunted.
\nIts distinctive neighborhoods radiate from the Spoka ne River\, complete with waterfalls\, in the heart of the city. Half of it s downtown buildings are historical\, lending themselves to ghost signs an d ghost stories. Secret Spokane explores some of these stories and many ot hers\, too.

Sip a cocktail named for Veronica the&mdash\;friend ly?&mdash\;ghost at The Bad Seed. Meet Spokane&rsquo\;s marmots and gang o f wild South Hill turkeys.
