Welcome

WELCOME to Spokane, Washington!! 

The BC/WA/OR/ID District is excited to welcome you to the Motor Maids 85th Anniversary Convention. Spokane is in the heart of our District that spans 618,066 square miles (that's 1.6 million square kilometers!). Needless to say, we have countless stunning roads to explore. You will be amazed by the majestic mountains, white water rivers, glorious forests, high desert country and of course, just a few hours away is the Pacific Ocean.  

The City of Spokane, also known as the Lilac City, was home to the World's Fair in 1974. Our convention hotel, The Centennial, is located in that very same place, now known as Riverfront Park. Within easy walking distance you will hear and see the country's longest urban waterfall. A must on your list should include the beautiful gondola over Spokane Falls! If you love to play in the water, on the Spokane River, you can take a few hours to raft, paddle, kayak or swim.  

The different boroughs of Spokane offer a unique flair. Each is wildly different, unique and interesting.  Spokane is home to numerous up andcoming chefs and is known for fantastic microbreweries. For a quieter, more peaceful experience, we highly recommend ManitoPark. The Duncan Garden is reminiscent of the “manicured to perfection” gardens of Europe. 

While you're here

Nestled in the heart of downtown Spokane, the Centennial Hotel offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, just steps from the Spokane River and Centennial Trail. In your free time, stroll to the nearby U-District or indulge in a delightful array of downtown shops and delectable restaurants. After a full day of riding and convention activities, relax in the heated pool featuring a cascading waterfall and breathtaking views. The fitness center is equipped with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and weight-training machines, as well as free weights and exercise mats. 

For a truly memorable experience, you may want to visit Cat Tales (cattales.org) just a bit north of Spokane. This unique wildlife shelter is dedicated to providing exceptional care and second chances for animals in need.  

Of course, no Motor Maids Convention is complete without Five Crowns – whether you are a novice or a veteran at this card game – join the fun! While here – look for Big Foot sightings and play along with our Scavenger Hunt! 

Join us at the 2025 Convention!

Come early and stay longer to explore the Pacific and Inland Northwest! Come early and stay late because ADVENTURE AWAITS!!
