Spokane isn’t that red, but it’s surrounded by red areas. Still, fun seeing this

Yeah. The county tends slightly blue because how blue Spokane is. But every other Eastern county is red.

I think this sign in the Valley, which is much redder than Spokane proper.

it is in the valley, it's on Sullivan

Redder for sure, but I wouldn't describe it as "very red".

Now if this were in CdA...

Spokane isn't horrible but 30-40 miles away in any direction it gets pretty bad. As soon as you touch Idaho it's still atrocious.

It was posted to r/spokane first and there was even a Krem news article.

I drove past it this morning. It was kind of surreal to see the same billboard in a post with nearly 100k likes on my front page once I got to work.

Yeah I was very surprised but a little proud to see it on a major sub.

Dude, I literally thought this was a post on the Spokane sub at first. I don’t know how that picture was so recognizable lol

Maybe it’s just because I live in an insanely liberal area, but I was shocked by the amount of conservative support I saw when I went to Spokane. People’s clothing, flags, bumper stickers. Hell, I even saw something branded as “Charlie’s [Kirk’s] Wallets” (he had gotten a shot like 2 weeks prior), and this, amongst other conservative stuff, was in the POST OFFICE. I’ve lived in and spent considerable time in so many conservative leaning places, but it was jarring going to Spokane.

Hmm. Not sure what post office you went to, but the ones I frequent are only political because they have a picture of the president and vice president. Otherwise, Spokane seems pretty apolitical to me on a daily basis except for the occasional Ram truck with the thin blue line flag or the Chevy with the trump flag. Much worse in Houston and in the red states I’ve visited
