Great regurgitated talking point, thanks ! Seriously do you WANT to have to file state taxes every year? In reality if state income taxes happen you will get both taxes just like California. Income tax is not necessarily more progressive that’s just a lie they tell you to agree to more taxes. Regardless, Thank god it’s against the state constitution to impose one so even if morons want to enact one they can’t !

My parents opened up a bank account for me but didn't let me use it at all. They deposited money into it and after a while turned it into a cds and money markets and let it grow until college. Then I was allowed to use it with supervision. This type of thing can easily be managed on your own without any special services.

Don’t worry, Spokane has lots of other similar buildings still. A really great example is the Davenport Hotel, about a block away from this bus station.

Not so fun fact about the bus station: it was supposed to be a commerce center as well as a bus station. It’s set up like a fancy mini mall inside. Unfortunately, that never really worked out. Most of the shops are empty now for a variety of reasons, and most people avoid the bus station because it has turned into kind of a de facto homeless shelter. The city is currently working on redesigning their transit system to instead have bus stop platforms throughout downtown and de-emphasize the station as a hub of the transit system.

Nice info, love it. I have deep roots here, but grew up elsewhere. But now live here. ..lol...It has close family ties and all for me. So I'm curious why that map has the cedar mapped, it could be they actually walked over there, and that's the simple answer. But I'm now curious what its historic impact truly was. I'm also curious now about this 1906 flood that was so massive it altered a river's course.
