SPOKANE, Wash. — Over a thousand tulips are starting to bloom near Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane.
Downtown Spokane Partnership (DSP) planted 1,200 tulip bulbs in hexagonal planters on Spokane Falls Boulevard during a cleanup event in October. Those bulbs are now starting to bloom for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
DSP says the planters have been around for the last 50 years. One of the main goals for 2025 was to maximize the growing season along one of the city’s most visible streets.
“These planters don’t just belong to downtown; they belong to the entire community,” said Paul Lower, DSP vice president of safe and clean programs.
Lower says the tulips will continue to bloom each year, with the number of tulips expected to double next spring.
Tulip season in Spokane typically lasts through early May.
