Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 17th.
We’re waking up in Spokane to a run of beautiful weather—cooler mornings, hot afternoons, and plenty of sunshine. Highs today and through the week are expected to be well above seasonal norms, with temperatures surging into the mid-80s across the Inland Northwest, so whether you’re planning a walk in Riverfront Park or a quick commute downtown, enjoy that late-summer warmth while it lasts. That sun is also giving a much-needed boost to folks still recovering from this season’s wildfire impacts. The Crown Creek Fire continues to be a story west of us, where some residents are just beginning the long process of rebuilding after losing their homes. Community support remains strong, with local fundraisers and neighbors pitching in to help those who need a hand.
On the civic front, last night saw the launch of Spokane’s Together Spokane townhalls, starting in Northeast Spokane, where residents got their chance to sound off on a proposed bond and levy package. If it passes, homeowners could see about eleven dollars more per month in taxes for a $450,000 home starting next year. The funds would go toward a variety of community improvements, including new sports fields, playground makeovers, and infrastructure upgrades in parks and schools. As you might expect, the plan is sparking some debate, with spirited conversations over the value of new investments versus the pinch to household budgets. Organizers and local leaders encourage everyone to attend the upcoming townhalls to ask questions and weigh in before the vote six weeks from now.
Across the river in Spokane Valley, leaders are tightening up their disaster plans, updating the county’s hazard mitigation roadmap in response to rising wildfire risks and severe storms. After listening to community members, the plan now prioritizes wildfire defenses and even adds hazardous materials to the watchlist, given all the freight that moves through the valley. Residents are encouraged to stay informed as these plans develop, since preparedness is key to minimizing the impacts of future emergencies.
Looking for something fun tonight? The Spokane Arena is hosting a concert, with doors opening at seven and the show starting at eight. It’s a great chance to catch some live music and escape the midweek grind. If you love local arts, tomorrow night the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox will raise the curtain on another performance, so check their calendar for tickets and show details.
For those wanting to engage with city government or stay up to date on public safety, Spokane Police are asking the community for help in locating a missing endangered adult male. If you have information, you can contact the city’s 311 line or SPD directly.
And don’t forget—the Bicycling Advisory Board is working to make Spokane a more bike-friendly city. If you’re a cyclist or just have ideas for better routes, now’s your moment to speak up as city leaders look to make lasting improvements for pedal power.
That’s the pulse of Spokane this morning—the stories, the sunshine, the ongoing work to make our neighborhoods stronger, and plenty of options to enjoy city life tonight. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
