Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, September 20, 2025.
Waking up in Spokane today means you’re stepping into a city with a ton of energy and plenty to do. First, music lovers have reason to celebrate – the Boomjam Music Festival is taking over the Spokane Convention Center starting at noon. It’s all about indie bands, community, great food, and art. The organizers promise a welcoming, all-ages environment perfect for making new friends and supporting local artists. If you want live music and good vibes right in the heart of downtown, Boomjam should be at the top of your list.
Elsewhere today, Riverfront Park is offering up something special for those who want to unwind in style – Sip and Soar is back this evening. Guests get to savor local beverages and snacks while taking in views from the Numerica SkyRide, and that mix of epic scenery and relaxed atmosphere is a signature Spokane experience. Later at the Gesa Pavilion, MMA fans can catch Fights Under the Lights, an electrifying live fight night that promises action from start to finish.
On the civic front, Spokane has been in headlines with some major local developments. This week, a Spokane attorney slammed the courts over free speech after a controversial ruling – the city celebrated victory after a First Amendment lawsuit was dismissed. For those following city finances, Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown recently announced a $13 million budget deficit driven by inflation, federal contract uncertainty, and lower sales tax revenue as local families tighten their belts.
There’s big news in public safety too – the “South Hill Rapist” Kevin Coe is expected to be released in early October. The Washington Attorney General confirms he’ll be required to register as a sex offender for life, while resources are being offered to his victims as the city prepares for his release.
In construction news, the month-long strike that brought key projects in Spokane and Spokane Valley to a halt has ended. Crews are back at work, but several road, bridge, and paving projects are now running about two weeks behind schedule. Some work may extend into October or November if the weather holds, so expect to see more orange cones around town as workers race to finish before fall settles in.
Speaking of fall, today’s weather is giving us a final burst of summer with sunshine and temps in the low 80s. But get ready, because cool, breezy showers roll in Sunday and Monday marks the official start of autumn. That means foliage, pumpkin spice, and more cozy events will be popping up rapidly in the coming weeks.
Families should watch for a few fun happenings next weekend, like the Cake Lovers’ Celebration on Sunday and skating with music and fun at the Gesa Pavilion. For those who love arts and culture, there’s an intimate concert with Raegan Leilani at Tay Tay’s Café coming soon, plus organist Lukas Hasler performing at St. John’s Cathedral to kick off the 80th season for the local American Guild of Organists.
Don’t forget to check your gas tank before a fall drive – Spokane’s average price per gallon just rose to about $4.30, nearly 25 cents higher than last month and well above last year’s average. With prices spiking statewide, planning ahead might save you a few bucks.
That wraps up today’s Spokane news and events. However you choose to spend your Saturday, there’s plenty happening across town, from live music and local eats to civic updates and change on the horizon. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
