Asian American Footprints in Downtown Spokane

Walk along Spokane Falls Boulevard past the Davenport Grand toward Washington and along the parking lot in the shadow of the Parkade. In the first half of the 20th century, those blocks were the heart of Spokane’s Chinese and Japanese communities.

This exhibit looks back at Spokane’s early Asian American communities, their history in downtown, and the changes brought about by Expo ‘74.
