Landmarks are normally objects of long standing, places or things commemorating people or events of long ago. However, there is a brand-new one in Spokane – a specialty monument – that touches on the past and welcomes the future.
The new Welcome to Spokane monument is at the base of the Interstate 90/Division Street eastbound off-ramp at Fourth Avenue and Division Street. The project of the Associated Garden Clubs of Spokane, the monument and surrounding garden “show our pride in Spokane,” said Charlie Parsons of the organization.
