Derrick, founder of Spokane Doesn't Suck

“Spokane Doesn’t Suck was born out of a love for Spokane, paired with being tired of all the anti-Spokane rhetoric that exists in the region. Spokane is a great city that is getting better all the time. The motto “Near Nature, Near Perfect”, while a little cheesy, is entirely true. The community here is a thing of beauty, as evidenced by how people helped each other out during the Great Windstorm of 2015. There are so many individuals and groups in town that are doing things to improve the quality of life in Spokane. It’s a very exciting time to call Spokane home.” – Derrick Oliver, founder of Spokane Doesn’t Suck
