Welcome, aporcelainsky,
Unfortunately I'm not from the Spokane area, but I'm sure there are some Californians here at MB, and that's *pretty* close to where you are! What about Portland? Do you ever get down there for music-related activities?
I hope some Spokanites (?) will make their presence here known so that you find some local music lovers. Until then, I hope you'll have fun finding out what other people on MB listen to and sharing your music opinions here.
