A well-known saying in Idaho humorously suggests that the state has three capitals due to its geographical divisions. For residents of the northern region, Spokane is often considered their main city, reflecting the distinct identity and relationship with nearby Washington State.
This observation highlights the unique cultural and historical context of Idaho, as noted in Carlos A. Schwantes' book, "The Pacific Northwest: An Interpretive History." The quote points to the varying influences and connections within the state that shape its regional dynamics.
