Marty Dickinson, Downtown Spokane Partnership

Early morning or late night?

“Definitely early morning. I can get a lot of organizing and planning done between 5 and 7 a.m.”

Doughnuts or muffins?

“Doughnuts. Glazed doughnuts. That’s what I get my kids if we are at the store and they want something, you know, so I can have one, too.”

Last movie you watched?

“(Recently) my husband and I built a fort with the kids and then we watched ‘102 Dalmatians’ – I can’t remember the last movie other than that.”

Latest CD you bought?

“I download music. I just did a mix that includes Frank Sinatra, Fergie, Michael Buble and Tim McGraw. But I lean toward country.”

Baseball or football?

“Baseball. The Mariners. My husband bleeds blue and my son is a baseball fanatic. But I do like Cougar football.”

Pet peeve?

“I don’t like being caught off guard. I like to be prepared. And the same goes for other people: when they come to see me, if they ask for an hour of my time, they better come prepared to have the discussion they asked for.”

Can you always find a parking spot downtown?

“Honestly, yes, I can find one. Is it always right outside where I want to go? No, sometimes I’ll have to walk a little bit, but I can find a spot.”
