Without knowing when they arrived in the US, or if anyone else except Harriet arrived, or if this is even the correct Harriet, it's difficult to proceed. Your best chance of getting confirmation and information would be the obituary of Harriet...IF one was published in Spokane. If there was no family to pay for one, or if she was just passing through, or for other reasons, there might not be one in Spokane. But, with that said: The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .
