Mirabeau Point park is really nice. That is out in the valley, maybe close enough to drag a few from Idaho over the line. It is getting nice enough to have a picnic.
A couple of years ago there were issues with OC at the POITP. Do a search on here and you should be able to find it.

I don't think that the Spokane Municipal Code has been corrected (I keep meaning to talk to Howard about it) but we should be ok under preemption and the Seattle ban ruling. The only possible problem might be whetherRCW 70.108.150 (notes below from Handgunlaw.us)can be applied to Pig Out. I would say no because the primary purpose is to eat (they call it"Pig Out"for a reason)and the music offered is secondary.
