From time to time the SAS hosts observing events which the public is invited to attend. One location we use is directly behind the new fire station at 6117 South Palouse Highway on Spokane's South Hill.

Another site is the NE baseball field at Opportunity Elementary School, on the SW corner of 10th and Union.  See map here.

General meetings are held in Building 24, Room 110 on Spokane Falls Community College Campus.  See map here. 

Fishtrap Recreation area is our primary dark sky observing site. Located on BLM land approximately 33 miles southwest of Spokane, all but the last mile or two is paved road. The SAS is working in cooperation with the BLM to have outhouses installed at the site. A prerequisite for this to happen is that we record our use of the site, so if you go to observe from Fishtrap please make a note of the date, time and how many people were with you. Please send this info to Dan Croskrey. Click on either the color or B&W map below and a larger, printable version will appear. Click your browsers "back" button to return here.

Star Butte is an observing site for SAS members. About 30 miles south of Spokane, Star Butte is just east of Fairfield, WA and is an outstanding site for dark sky astronomy or astrophotography. Click on the map below for a larger, printable version. Click your browsers "back" button to return here.
