Spokane emerged on the world stage in 1974 when it hosted the World’s Fair.  This event transformed Spokane from a town heavily influenced by railroad industry to a modern city with Riverfront Park, a 100 acre entertainment complex with a view of Spokane Falls at its urban core. 

Natural resources have played an integral role for Spokane since the discovery of gold and silver in the late 1800’s.  Today timber, agriculture and mining remain important industries.  Potlach Corporation, a Fortune 1000 company with major timber and real estate holdings, is headquartered here.

Spokane is very much a part of the 21st century, having attracted a number of high-tech and biotech firms.  Among these are Agilent, Cisco and General Dynamics.  Although you’ll have access to WiFi in your room at the Crossland Economy Studios, be sure to take your laptop with you when you head downtown; there you will find a 100-block area with a wireless internet network that is the largest of its kind in the country.

The Spokane area is home to a number of well-known universities, including Gonzaga, Eastern Washington University, and Washington State University.  At the center of higher education in Spokane is the Riverpoint Campus, an educational entity that houses facilities from four institutions.  Among them are the University of Washington Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.  This education conglomerate is just 10 miles from the Crossland Economy Studios Spokane - Valley Hotel, making the location popular for those in need of a hotel near Riverpoint Campus.

Nine miles from the Crossland Economy Studios Spokane - Valley Hotel is picturesque The Creek at Qualchan, Spokane’s newest 18-hole championship golf course.  Member of the New York State Audubon Society, this par 72 features four sets of tees, and promises to be a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
