This flag is shown on an old postcard from 1912, so I presumed this is the old city flag. The post card was in a book called Vintage Postcards from Old Spokane. Written by Duane Broyles and Howard Ness.

The source address at Remi1000.com is now defunct but at tornadocreekpublications.com/VintagePostcards.htm is information about the book. It is a dark blue ~6:11 flag with a narrow white horizontal mid-stripe and a narrow white hoist pentagon (i.e., joint vertical stripe and triangle) and on the latter a golden yellow 16-rayed sun (with long collateral and longitudinal tips, and longer axial tips) charged with a thick blue sans-serif upper case "S".
