I'll be there from June 10-13th (Wed thru Friday). Obviously the parks are great, and I plan to visit those. I'm interested in finding a local restaurant where the locals go....I don't want to be surrounded by tourists for the entire time I'm there. I'll have a car. I like places that have historical significance. It doesn't have to be fancy, though that's okay too, but I'd like something with old romantic charm. thank you. Kim
Try the Lame Duck on Trent. Good food and drink at good prices
Spokane really doesn't attract that many tourists (or, at least, I haven't noticed it), so I don't think that you'll be "surrounded by" them at any place. Anthony's Downtown on the Falls is good if only for the view (there's better seafood elsewhere though), especially if you're on the patio. There are several other places Downtown that are very good. It just depends what sort of food you're looking for.
For historical significance (although recent), you can head up to the Garland to the milk bottle cafe. I believe it was in "Benny & Joon" or some other movie. The Steam Plant Grill has some historical significance, but it's fairly noisy so I wouldn't call it romantic. There's also the restaurant inside the Davenport, although that's very fancy.
While in Spokane, be sure to have a glass of wine at the Caterina Winery on Washington and, if you like microbrews, there's Great Northern Lights hidden away off Trent, east of the Gonzaga campus. Fabulous beer and the brewpub has a nice atmosphere. Also, be sure to do one of the short, flat hikes along the river, probably west of town. It's really gorgeous out there and there are never many people out.

30 minutes east, you can be in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. OMG, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The lake is pristine, the town has some great restaurants and you should try to go horseback riding there.
Not much in the way of historial significance but you will absolutely enjoy it. I have never been to a place with friendlier people than in Idaho.
Sorry, I don't have pics and tips posted for Coeur d'Alene - I didn't own a digital camera during my visits but have been there 3 times about 8-10 years ago.
You're absoluteley right Grace. Day tripping in North Idaho would be tops, if possible drive up to Priest lake, the moose along the road outnumber the deer. The best scenery is from the east side of the lake (I lived in Coolin) The entire drive is awesome though. You won't want to leave!
Northern Lights is a good suggestion. Another place that's very much a local place is The Elk in Browne's Addition. It used to be an old pharmacy, and it's got that historical vibe. It's at Pacific and Cannon. Oops, looks like you're leaving today. Hope you see this!
We loved to take our little boy to River Front Park. There was a lot of times where we would take sandwiches and spend the whole day there. They have a huge wagon that is a slide and it was fun to walk across the bridge and see his face light up at how high we were and to see all the water below us. They also have a neat "mini" carnival that runs during the summer.

It's beautiful and historical. Stop if you're driving by, it's only about 3 minutes (and viewable) from the freeway, approximately 30-45 minutes from Spokane.
It's the oldest standing building in Idaho, built between 1848 and 1853.

Spokane has made a very conscious effort to beautify its city with public art and parks. In Riverfront Park alone I saw at least 6 pieces of art. In 1981 the city enacted a “Percent for art” ordinance that made 1% of construction costs be spent purchasing public artwork.
The result of their work has made for many pieces of artwork, some may seem a little unusual but at least one should be interesting to everyone. The artwork varies from a Native American Totem Pole to a sculpture of people running a marathon to a bus sized Radio Flyer complete with a set of stairs and a slide.
90 acres of park and was originally called Montrose Park, name changed in 1903 to Manito Park, which means "'spirit of nature".
Duncan Garden is a classical European Renaissance-style garden comprising of three acres and highlighted by a large granite fountain. There is also a Perennial Garden, Japanese Garden, and Rose Hill, which features 1500 rose bushes of over 150 varieties. The Gaiser Conservatory has lush floral displays amid tropical foliage.
There's a duck pond, playground, hiking trails etc.
