Local Frequency - Spokane

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November 29th, 2025.

We're diving right into a busy Saturday with plenty of holiday festivities kicking off across the Inland Northwest. If you're looking to get into the spirit of the season, downtown Spokane is the place to be. The Numerica Tree Lighting Celebration is happening this evening from 4 to 7 PM at the plaza adjacent to the Numerica Skate Ribbon. Festivities kick off at 4 PM with food trucks and live entertainment, and the big moment comes at 6 PM when we light up the community tree. So bundle up, grab your ice skates, and bring some hot cocoa because this is a tradition that brings so many Spokane families together on Thanksgiving weekend.

Speaking of holiday cheer, winter markets are popping up all over town today. The Scale House Market, Spokane's year-round indoor facility, is hosting a winter market to support small businesses, and the Kendall Yards area is bringing the magic with its first Night Market Winter Festival. If you want to support local shops, today is Small Business Saturday, so there's no better time to explore what downtown has to offer.

If you're in the mood for some entertainment beyond shopping, the Spokane Chiefs are taking on the Kelowna Rockets tonight at 6:05 PM at Numerica Veterans Arena. And for the whole family, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is performing at the Spokane Civic Theatre this evening. For those who like a little mystery and adventure, Spokane's Secret Society Mystery Hunt is happening today as well.

On the news front, we're keeping an eye on a couple of serious matters. An Airway Heights couple has been charged with imprisoning a teenager for three days in their bedroom without food. The teen managed to escape to a neighbor's apartment, and both suspects are being held on 100-thousand-dollar bonds. Additionally, a single-vehicle rollover crash occurred on North Rambo Road near West Euclid Road, resulting in one death and another person being hospitalized.

The Washington State Patrol is increasing patrols throughout the holiday weekend, reminding drivers to slow down and be extra cautious as holiday travel picks up and weather conditions get colder. They emphasize that technique over speed is what keeps everyone safe on our roads.

So whether you're hitting the holiday events downtown, supporting local businesses, or just enjoying a Saturday with family, make it a safe and wonderful day here in Spokane.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, November 27th, 2025.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the Spokane area. Whether you're heading to family gatherings or enjoying a quieter day at home, we've got you covered with what's happening in our community today.

First, let's talk weather. We're looking at cloudy skies this morning with temperatures hovering around 39 degrees. There's a 60 percent chance of rain moving in, so you might want to keep an umbrella handy if you're heading out. Expect a high of 40 degrees with lows dropping to around 34 degrees tonight, so bundle up for those evening plans.

On the civic front, the City of Spokane has announced a significant initiative to address homelessness and substance abuse. The city is funding 50 new shelter beds and launching mobile medication-assisted treatment services through an emergency declaration. This brings much-needed resources online for vulnerable residents during the cold winter months ahead.

In a positive development for local law enforcement, Spokane police have cleared Giving Back Spokane founder Rick Clark of embezzlement allegations. The organization, which has been instrumental in community outreach, can now move forward without that cloud of investigation.

Unfortunately, there's sadness to report as well. A body discovered in the Spokane River near the TJ Meenach Bridge has been identified. Our thoughts are with the family and friends affected by this tragedy.

On the political side, a Spokane Valley councilmember has sparked considerable community response after sharing what was described as an Islamaphobic post on a private Facebook account. The post has triggered significant anger and discussion about leadership conduct in our valley communities.

And in matters of law, a federal judge has dismissed a challenge to Washington state's gun law, upholding the state's regulations.

Most of our schools and colleges are closed today for the Thanksgiving holiday, including Spokane Falls Community College and schools throughout the Greenacres area, so families can focus on time together and giving thanks.

That's your snapshot of Spokane today. Whether you're enjoying a day off with loved ones or working behind the scenes to keep our community running, we appreciate you tuning in.

If sports are more your speed, the Spokane Chiefs hit the ice at Numerica Veterans Arena tonight at 7:05 to take on the Kelowna Rockets. With the holiday break coming up, it’s the perfect chance to rally with friends or family and enjoy one of Spokane’s favorite traditions—WHL hockey under the arena lights.

Looking ahead to the Thanksgiving weekend, the city comes alive with events to help you make the most of family time. On Friday, check out the Spokane Handweavers Guild Show and Sale if you’re looking for unique holiday gifts. The Festival of Fair Trade’s Global Holiday Market also kicks off at Kizuri and Ganesh Himal Trading, inviting you to peruse ethically made crafts that support global communities. Saturday offers a Youth Makers Market at Wishing Tree Books and a cozy Holiday Wreath Workshop at Commellini Estate—great opportunities to connect with local creativity and perhaps start a new tradition.

Of course, as the holiday season gets underway, remember that community remains at the heart of Spokane. Whether you’re laughing at a comedy show, cheering for the Chiefs, or simply swapping stories at the dinner table, every gathering is a chance to shape the season’s spirit.

Spokane wakes up to a chilly November morning, but things are heating up around town with plenty of news and activities to keep you busy.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Monday, November 17th.

We start today with a check on the weather. Clouds are rolling across Spokane with a fifty percent chance of rain, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re heading out. That rain might be a good excuse to cozy up in your favorite local café—or, if you’re feeling adventurous, venture out to one of the many live events happening today.

The big story on the city council docket tonight is their vote on a proposal for a twelve percent tax on paid parking downtown. Spokane drivers and businesses are watching closely, as the outcome could mean slightly pricier parking for regular downtown visitors. So if you usually drive and park for work or shopping, stay tuned—your wallet may feel a ripple effect from this decision.

Washington restaurant prices remain a hot topic. Spokane diners have been feeling the pinch lately, as the state now claims the highest dine-in prices in the nation.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November 15th, 2025.

Kicking off your weekend with the big stories making waves in Spokane, we start just next door in Post Falls where residents are still reeling from the bizarre sight of a house leveled by an excavator. Early Friday morning, officers arrested a 29-year-old man accused of deliberately demolishing a nearly finished home in the neighborhood. Shock and disbelief rippled through the block as neighbors surveyed the damage, but cleanup crews are moving fast, and the property developer says they'll rebuild, though it could take up to a year before a new home stands on that lot.

Back in Spokane, the city’s budget challenges remain center stage. Mayor Lisa Brown has unveiled a proposal to address a 13 million dollar deficit. While nearly 20 city jobs are set for cuts, it could have been much higher, and the good news is there are no proposals to boost utility taxes or trim back essential city services like snow plowing. That’s a relief as winter approaches. The mayor’s emergency declaration for increased shelter and food support is also in effect, meaning the city will fund 50 new shelter beds, ramp up eviction prevention, and add mobile addiction treatment services to support those hit hardest by ongoing federal shutdown worries.

Meanwhile, schools and parks have something to celebrate. Thanks to strong voter turnout, the Together Spokane initiative has passed, securing millions for new projects across the city. Spokane schools are already packing up to begin building a modern, ADA-accessible Adams Elementary. Expect to see new parks, a trade school, an indoor tennis center, and enhanced recreation facilities springing up over the next several years, all promised to boost life for students, families, and neighborhoods citywide.

Now, for those looking for ways to spend the day, families gather for a magical time at the Spokane Arena this morning as Disney On Ice: Let’s Dance takes to the rink at 11 AM. It’s a guaranteed hit with kids and grown-ups alike. Music fans, tonight brings a chance to flash back in style with Pops 2: Back to the '80s at 7:30 PM, also downtown. The Spokane Symphony leads an evening of classic ‘80s hits you can sing along to, from Madonna to Huey Lewis, for that totally tubular nostalgia.

Live theater returns this evening as Spokane Falls Community College's Drama Club stages their fall production, Witch, starting at 7:30 in Spartan Theater. And over at New Community, alt-folk duo Over the Rhine will be taking the stage as part of their PNW 2025 tour. For those who love a little mystery with dinner, The Dinner Detective True Crime event plays out this evening at the Spokane Club.

If supporting local education is your calling, the WV Ed Foundation Fundraiser kicks off tonight at 6 in the Great Room, and for those willing to venture a bit further, Ritzville holds a critical town hall at 2 to address the future of East Adams Rural Healthcare amid
