Since The 1950s, Spokane Families Have Lined Up For Burgers At Ferguson’s Cafe

Some restaurants chase trends every few years. One little diner on the north side of Spokane has spent decades doing the opposite, and families keep coming back because of it. Grandparents who ate there as kids now bring their grandkids, and the booths still fill up before the morning coffee has had time to cool. The place has even appeared on the big screen, which surprises plenty of lifelong locals who never knew a movie crew once set up shop a few blocks from home.

Warm Bowls Of Ramen Come Loaded With Chashu Pork At These 10 Washington Noodle Shops

A Spokane ramen shop sells a bowl called King Ramen, and you can upgrade it with premium chashu pork. I love that a noodle soup gets a royal title on Division Street. Chashu is pork that gets braised low and slow until it turns tender. Then it lands on top of broth and noodles like a crown.

Where to find trendy tooth gems and grillz around Spokane

From the early 2000s comeback trend of teeth grillz (e.g. Nelly’s 2005 hit “Grillz”) to the demure, quiet-luxury look of Swarovski crystal gems sported by models like Bella Hadid, decorating one’s teeth has become another way to accessorize.

10 Washington Coffee Roasters Serving Freshly Roasted Beans And Rich Espresso In Cozy Shops

One Washington roaster pays coffee farmers more than double Fair Trade rates. Your morning latte comes with a side of good karma, which is a pretty great way to start the day. That company started in 2005 inside an unmarked warehouse, which is about as indie as origin stories get. Now it runs cafes and a full roastery, with national awards to show for it.

5 Best Restaurants in Spokane Valley, Washington You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Spokane Valley, Washington — a city where the pines lean in close and the Spokane River winds like a silver ribbon, where the hum of pickup trucks mingles with the laughter of families in leafy parks, and the scent of barbecue, pho, and fresh-baked bread drifts through neighborhoods stitched together by memory and hope. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: ranch homes and new builds, old barns and glassy storefronts, each telling the story of those who’ve called this valley home. It’s a place where the food scene is a living mosaic — Hmong, Mexican, Italian, and classic American, all woven together by the hands of dreamers and doers, old-timers and newcomers alike.

There’s a saying: Three strikes and you’re out. But for artist Kay O’Rourke, not even four strokes could keep her down for very long. Although she lost the use of her right hand and arm and now uses a wheelchair to get around, O’Rourke hasn’t lost her stylishness, her optimism or her drive to make art.

Spokane’s Timeworm goes goblin mode on new album E Pluribus Goblin

Spooky season might be in the rearview mirror, but for Spokane band Timeworm, goblin season seemingly never ends. For Timeworm, viewing the world through the lens of the mischievous and malicious little demon-like creatures from English folklore seems pretty fitting for our current times. And the group dives deep into that idea while sonically exploring the edges of psychedelic funk, alternative rock and more on its new sophomore album, E Pluribus Goblin.

Hit the Trail with Soph

Fall is the best time to hike – for me, anyway. Being a middle-aged marshmallow with the heat tolerance of said confection, I tend to crisp in the sun while sweating like I have to choose between bills and groceries at the same time. Besides the annoyance of woolly gnats getting stuck on your skin and hair like you’re riding a motorcycle with no helmet, autumn provides more temperate weather and showstopping foliage before winter’s hush falls over the forest. In celebration of the season, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite local hiking spots that pair well with your favorite pumpkin spice beverage. If I’ve missed one you think should be on this list, you know how to get in touch (if you don’t, my email is at the end of this column).
