The Spokane Intermodal Center is an inter-modal transport facility that serves as a station, re-fueling, and service stop for the Amtrak Empire Builder, as well as the Greyhound and Trailways station for Spokane, Washington, USA.

Spokane is unique in the operation of the Empire Builder. At Spokane, the westbound train is split into two sections; one heads to Seattle and the other to Portland. Of the cars in the arriving westbound train, the last four Superliner cars (the Sightseer Lounge, two Coaches, and a Sleeper car) go to Portland. The eastbound trains use the reverse operation, joining in Spokane.

The station boarded or detrained an average of 145 Amtrak passengers daily in FY08.^[1]

The station and parking are owned by the City of Spokane. The platform and track are owned by BNSF Railway.^[2]
