<p>Spokane is in eastern WA and WWU is in Bellingham, which is in western WA. If you are asking how long the drive is between those two cities I'd say about 5.5-6 hours. It's a bit faster from Spokane directly to Seattle b/c I-90 goes straight through (about 4.5-5 hours).
I've lived in both eastern and western WA, and they are quite different areas (economically, politically, and even weather). If you'd like, PM me and I can answer more.</p>
