Local Frequency - Spokane

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025.

Let’s start with a heads-up from the Spokane County Assessor’s Office. Residents are being warned about spoofing scam calls happening after hours. These calls may look official, but they are not coming from the county, so if you see “Spokane County” pop up unexpectedly don’t share any personal or financial info and consider reporting the suspicious call to Crime Check. Authorities are keeping a close eye on this situation, and officials urge everyone to stay vigilant.

Turning to community happenings, today marks the last chance to catch Eastern Washington University’s “Conservation of Mass” art exhibition, which wraps up its run at the Gallery of Art. If you’re looking to brighten someone’s holiday season, the YWCA’s 10th Annual Family Wish List Program is underway, hoping to serve 90 Spokane families facing tough times—community members can deliver donated gifts now through early December, or contribute online to lift local spirits this winter.

The holiday build-up is truly kicking into gear. The Salvation Army Spokane has their signature Corporate Kettle Kick-Off event in full swing, rallying local businesses and residents for another fundraising season aimed at supporting those in need. The event stretches from Tuesday through Thursday, energizing volunteers and boosting the familiar sounds of bells around the city.

For family fun, Jump For Joy has open jump times today from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. A great spot to get some energy out, especially as the days grow shorter. Meanwhile, the Medicare Annual Election is happening at Inland Empire Insurance Group Clinic today from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., helping locals sort out health coverage questions during open enrollment.

Let’s talk music and entertainment—tonight, New York Times bestselling humorist David Sedaris takes the stage, charming audiences with his signature wit. This weekend, Disney On Ice transforms the Spokane Arena into a magical playground featuring beloved characters—shows run November 14 through 16, so grab tickets if you’re looking for a fun night out with the kids.

Looking further ahead, Handel’s Messiah returns to St. John’s Cathedral later this month—the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus is always a holiday highlight and tickets sell quickly. Bing Crosby Holiday Fest is also gearing up with classic movie screenings and festive performances right in the historical heart of town. Stay tuned for Pops 3: Home for the Holidays with the Spokane Symphony as well, bringing beloved seasonal tunes to the stage.

And for those with a passion for food and sustainability, the SCD Farm & Food Symposium continues today at CenterPlace in Spokane Valley, showcasing innovation in agriculture and local eats until 4:30 p.m. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with community growers and organizations shaping Spokane’s food future.

That’s a wrap for a lively Thursday in Spokane—with arts, giving, holiday kickoff even

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025. Hope you’re waking up to a hot cup of coffee and plenty of positive energy, because we’ve got a lot to cover as we roll through your mid-November Thursday here in the Inland Northwest.

It was a soggy start to the week and you can expect more rain chances today, so don’t forget your umbrella if you’re out running errands or heading downtown. For those who were chasing the Northern Lights last night despite that pesky cloud cover, the skies actually opened up for a while and delivered a surprisingly vibrant celestial show—another reminder that Spokane’s nature can always pull off the unexpected.

In city updates, there’s big community spirit rolling through Spokane this November. Galaxy Paint Solutions has launched a heartfelt campaign: for every thousand dollars they earn on a job this month, they’re donating a hundred dollars of food to local banks. The owner says it’s about neighbors helping neighbors when times are tight, and they hope other local businesses follow their lead. Meanwhile, Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners—better known as SNAP—has restarted their popular Cuisine for Clients program, supporting both local restaurants and families who might be struggling to put dinner on the table.

Safety is top of mind for Spokane authorities this week. The police department closed a case quickly, arresting a suspect in a series of armed robberies in Hillyard. And on the heels of that news, residents are being urged to stay alert as a new phone scam has been making the rounds—calls that appear to come from the county assessor’s office but are actually fraudulent. If you get a suspicious call after hours, hang up and call back directly just to be sure.

On the political front, Eastern Washington’s own Representative Michael Bumgartner was seen hustling to D.C. for a key House vote on the Senate bill, while nationally there’s still talk about SNAP benefit extensions and big swings in food prices that could affect local residents. Speaking of food, with Thanksgiving around the corner, many are getting ready for family and football, but also looking out for those in need as donation drives ramp up.

Now, if you’re looking for something to do tonight or this weekend, Spokane has no shortage of options. Comedy fans are in for a treat this evening as David Sedaris brings his wit and storytelling to the Fox Theater at 7:30—grab those last tickets if you haven’t yet. Art lovers can catch the final day of Conservation of Mass at Eastern Washington University’s Gallery of Art. Over at the Bing Crosby Theater and beyond, the holiday spirit is firing up with upcoming events like the annual Bing Crosby Holiday Fest and, for families, open jump sessions at Jump For Joy will keep the kids busy and active indoors. And mark your calendars because the Warren Miller Sno-ciety Film Tour is rolling into town tonight at 7:30 at the Bing for those already dreaming of snow.

The week kicks off with a spirit of community and reflection here in Spokane, as the City Council invites everyone downtown for Community Days this evening.

For families with kids eager to burn off some energy, Open Jump times are available at Jump For Joy today from nine thirty to seven, with a brief early afternoon break. It is the perfect spot for kids under ten to get the wiggles out on a chilly November day.

Film buffs are in for a treat tonight at seven thirty as the Myrtle Woldson Center at Gonzaga screens the 1926 silent horror classic “A Page of Madness.” Internationally acclaimed benshi artist Ichiro Kataoka will perform live narration and commentary, paired with an original score of cello and electronics—a rare fusion of film and live performance.

If live music is your thing, indie band Nest is taking the stage at the Big Dipper tonight, bringing their creative sound to one of Spokane’s favorite intimate music venues. It’s a great way to plug into what’s fresh on the local music scene, whether you’re a die-hard fan or just curious about new acts.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8, 2025.

A crisp November morning greets us as Spokane settles into fall, and there’s plenty happening around town to keep you connected. Let’s start with a bit of local news from City Hall. The Spokane Police Department has confirmed it’s postponing its purchase of two long-range acoustic devices after community concerns about their impact and safety. Residents spoke out on October 27, prompting the city council to defer a decision until next week, so if this issue matters to you, now’s the time to stay tuned and get involved. Spokane Police Chief Kevin Hall also issued a statement Friday about recent internal investigations. Two officers resigned after being found in violation of department policy, specifically regarding inappropriate conduct while on duty. Chief Hall reassured the public that swift action was taken and that most officers uphold Spokane’s trust every day.

In other local headlines, a Spokane man was found not guilty of assaulting a Border Patrol agent, flights out of Spokane International continue to experience delays due to the federal government shutdown, and Spokane city council is weighing a new parking tax for downtown. Local economists are warning that new business taxes could drive companies across the border to Idaho, so business owners here are watching developments closely. Meanwhile, statewide, COVID and flu vaccinations are down again this year—only about 17 percent of Washingtonians have gotten a flu shot, and even fewer have gotten the latest COVID shot. The Health Department has released a new dashboard so locals can keep track of immunization rates right down to Spokane County.

Looking for things to do today? Spokane’s brisk weather is perfect for getting out and enjoying all the community has to offer. This evening, you can catch comedian Michael Glatzmaier at the Spokane Comedy Club downtown. If you’re more in the mood for a puzzle adventure, a city-wide scavenger hunt is happening at 6 North Post Street, called Brick by Brick: The Spokane City Puzzle. Families and friends can team up to explore Spokane’s hidden gems and solve local mysteries together. At the Bing Crosby Theater, holiday spirit arrives early with evening performances of A Christmas Carol. Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just want a fun night out, tickets are still available for all weekend showtimes.

On the edge of town, spark your winter excitement at Mount Spokane’s Winter Pre-Funk Party, with live music, dancing, and prizes running all day Sunday. Over at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center, the biggest snowmobile and power sports expo in the West opens its doors tomorrow morning. Bring old gear to swap or shop for new equipment to get you ready for the slopes.

If you’re feeling crafty, swing by the Pellu Fall Craft Fair until 3 p.m. today for handmade and vintage goods at the Pellu Community Center. There’s also a Meals on Wheels 5K Fun Run tomorrow morni

Spokane is waking up under mostly cloudy skies this morning, with temperatures hovering near 49 degrees and a chance of rain later on, so grab your umbrella before heading out. After a busy week in our region, there’s plenty happening today to keep you informed and entertained.

We begin with the city’s news pulse. Two Spokane police officers have resigned following internal investigations into on-duty sexual misconduct involving domestic violence victims, shaking up local law enforcement conversations. Meanwhile, Spokane residents are still responding to tragic headlines from beyond city limits after a fatal pedestrian crash in Okanogan County. The legal battles continue in Idaho’s high-profile student murder case, as the convicted individual now fights over financial restitution to the victims’ families. In Olympia, Governor Ferguson is fielding questions about SNAP benefits and what changes could mean for thousands of Spokane families trying to make ends meet.

Turning to local business, the annual State of the Region conference convened yesterday at the Spokane Convention Center. Industry leaders and economists discussed the effects of the historic government shutdown and its ripple impacts on Spokane’s economy. With Fairchild Air Force Base and other federal employees in our community, the uncertainty looms large. Local economist Grant Forsyth reminded everyone that reduced federal spending hits local sales and jobs hard, and the longer the shutdown lasts, the rockier the path to economic recovery.

But it’s not all heavy news—there’s plenty to do today. If you’ve got an appetite for fresh produce and community, the Spokane Community College Farmers Market is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the SCC Lair Student Center. Grab your favorite fall veggies, explore student crafts, and join the campus buzz.

Later tonight, Spokane Valley Fire Department launches its first-ever Mustache Mania, with 16 firefighters competing for the coveted title of Stache Supreme. Each day this month, you can vote for your favorite mustache on their Facebook page. The winner will be revealed at month’s end, so expect some spirited banter and plenty of mustache memes in your feed.

For those seeking live entertainment, the First Interstate Center for the Arts hosts the dynamic dance-electronica show iLuminate tonight, a must-see for fans of glowing costumes and electric choreography. Over at the Knitting Factory, Fit For A King brings their Lonely God Tour—expect a night of heavy riffs, heartfelt lyrics, and a crowd full of energy.

Election energy is pulsing through Spokane this morning. Voters cast their ballots yesterday, but the final results for city council and school district propositions are still being counted. Jonathan Bingle has claimed an early victory for Spokane City Council District 1, Position 2, but Sarah Dixit is urging residents to wait for official results, which won’t be certified until November 25th, so this local race could still take a twist. Across the region, school levies and public safety measures are on the ballot and being closely tracked, with local leaders and families watching for updates that could reshape community services.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November first.

We begin today with a look at what’s making news around Spokane. In government updates, Mayor Lisa Brown’s emergency declaration is front and center as city agencies are ramping up support for residents impacted by both the ongoing government shutdown and increased needs in the community. The plan includes funding for 50 additional shelter beds, more eviction prevention contracts, and a mobile medication treatment team—all aiming to keep vulnerable families safe and indoors as we start the colder months. The council is expected to give final approval on Monday, and city staff say the priority is getting through a tough winter while laying the groundwork for longer-term support.

In public safety headlines, a former Spokane County deputy is facing federal charges for alleged assault, and a legal battle is developing with a city council candidate being sued. Meanwhile, the community is keeping an eye on a case involving a suspect recently arrested in Florida who’s expected to be brought back to Spokane soon. Local law enforcement is also dealing with ongoing property crime—a woman has now been booked into the Spokane County Jail for trespassing eight times this year, highlighting challenges in persistent neighborhood offenses.

Turning to some positive notes, congratulations go out to a Coeur d’Alene tribal dancer who has just won a national title, bringing recognition to Indigenous traditions right here in the Inland Northwest.
