If you are in the Spokane area, there is a nature preserve just outside of Cheney (small town 30 minutes west) called "Turnbull". I know people who see moose there every time they go. I have been once, and I saw a moose.

I don't quite know which trail you should take, but if you are willing to spend half a day hiking, this may be a good spot.

I love that place! Super cool visit, even if you don’t see moose.

That’s what I came to say. It’s also a great place to see migrating and resident birds. I only live 1/2 hour away but I don’t go as much as I should

Here is the Turnbull National Wildlife refuge: https://maps.northwestportal.com/outdoors/#11.23/47.425426/-117.540374 No guarantee that you will see a Moose, but we stayed at an Airbnb near Spokane that had a moose that hung out at the property (my husband saw it, but I didn't, unfortunately)
