Local Frequency - Spokane

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, October 16, 2025. Step outside and you’ll notice it’s an absolutely crystal-clear start to the day—no clouds in our sky and a cool autumn crispness in the air. We’re at the very peak of fall colors across Spokane this week, so if you haven’t gotten out to enjoy nature’s show yet, now is the time. Popular walking spots like Manito Park, Riverfront Park, and the Centennial Trail promise breathtaking scenery as the trees reach their most vibrant hues, all thanks to those recent chilly nights. Grab a jacket and maybe your camera—it’s a perfect day for a stroll.

As you head out, keep in mind that the sunshine might not be enough to offset those cold nights ahead. Temperatures are dipping well below forty tonight, so bundle up for your evening plans. Speaking of which, tonight’s one of the last chances this week to meet the city council candidates face-to-face. The Spokane NAACP is hosting a community forum at the Central Library from six to eight. Candidates Jonathan Bingle and Christopher Savage, among others, will be available to chat about their goals and visions for Spokane. With ballots going out today for the November election, officials urge voters to send ballots in as early as possible to avoid any last-minute issues and make sure your voice is heard.

In city government news, Spokane is facing a $13 million budget deficit, so there are tough talks happening right now about possibly eliminating up to fifty city positions. About one third of those are currently vacant, but for those that aren’t, city officials say they recognize just how hard these decisions hit families and the broader community. Mayor Lisa Brown’s administration and the city council are reviewing all options ahead of their mid-biennium budget vote.

On the crime front, Spokane police continue to seek community help in solving a deadly shooting with no clear motive. If you know anything, authorities encourage you to step forward. Elsewhere, tragic accidents have claimed lives, including a Spokane man in a motorcycle crash and a Kootenai County sheriff's deputy lost in a UTV accident. Our thoughts are with those affected.

On a lighter note, for those seeking some fun this weekend, Spokane’s art scene is buzzing—check out gallery shows downtown and don’t miss local bands at the Bartlett or Lucky You Lounge. Cyclists have a charity ride coming up Saturday morning, starting at Kendall Yards, and with the weather holding steady, it should be a fantastic turnout.

This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Wednesday, October fifteenth, twenty twenty-five.

Let’s kick off with a look at your Wednesday in Spokane. As the autumn colors deepen across the city, change is brewing not just in the trees, but in local plans as Spokane County invites residents to help shape future growth. The county’s Comprehensive Plan is being developed right now, and everyone is encouraged to give input on how Spokane will grow over the next twenty years. Your voice matters—so if you care about new parks, housing, or local business trends, this is your chance to steer Spokane’s future.

Music fans have plenty to choose from this evening. Zola Restaurant and Live Music Bar continues to stake its claim as Spokane’s musical hub, with performances that spin from jazz to indie, pop to soul. Wednesday at Zola is especially exciting, serving as an incubator for emerging talent. Local artists, including the enigmatic group Akifumi Kato, take the stage to experiment, improvise, and share new sounds. If you’re a musician yourself or just want a taste of Spokane’s creative energy, this is your spot to get inspired and get involved.

For theater buffs, Broadway Spokane is wrapping up its run of Stereophonic tonight, so if you’re craving dramatic sets and live performances, this is your last chance to grab tickets.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Monday, October 13, 2025.

It is a beautiful start to the second week of October here in Spokane, and if you are looking to shake off those Monday blues, the city has you covered with plenty to do. For fitness fans, the Spokane Marathon continues all week long, having kicked off yesterday and running through October nineteenth. Runners of all levels are converging on downtown’s Riverfront Park, with marathon, half marathon, relay, and 10K options ensuring there’s something for everyone. Even if you are not running, it is worth strolling down to the finish line to soak up the vibrant energy and cheer on locals as they take home their finisher shirts and hoodies.

Downtown also has a mysterious twist today with the Bank Heist Scavenger Hunt. Teams and solo sleuths will be darting through historic streets, solving puzzles and cracking codes, all for a shot at glory. It is a fun way to see Spokane from a new angle and flex those detective muscles.

If you are thinking ahead to Halloween, Riverfront Park will soon host free Ghost Tours on October 23rd and 25th. Led by local historian Chet Caskey, these slightly spooky walks kick off at dusk from the Visit Spokane Visitor Center and will arm you with ghost meters and lanterns for an atmospheric stroll through legends and haunted history.

Maybe you would rather unwind with some laughter. The Spokane Comedy Club wraps up a weekend of shows with Uncle Lazer taking the stage and launches New Talent Tuesday tomorrow.

For those who like a bit of friendly competition with their Monday night, Bulldog’s Famous BBQ and Brews hosts DJ Trivia every Monday at six thirty. Gather your smartest friends, grab some barbecue, and try to snag those top prizes.

On the giving back front, it is still Socktober, and Spokane Valley’s lively Socktober Dash continues to collect socks for kids in need all month long. The event is embracing an unforgettable 80s vibe this year, so if you want to get involved or just dress up for a good cause, there is still time to join up and make a difference for local families.

And just a note for our neighbors and anyone traveling over to Montana, today marks their first Indigenous Peoples Day celebrated statewide, a meaningful milestone honoring Indigenous heritage and contributions with events throughout the region.

That’s a full Monday lineup here in Spokane, from marathons to mysteries, community spirit to great food and drink. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, October eleventh, twenty twenty-five. I’m your host, and I’m here to connect you to everything that’s happening in our city and around the Inland Northwest—events, news, and stories that matter to you.

Let’s start with some serious developments. This week, the Spokane Police Department has been actively responding to downtown issues, especially concerning drug use and trespassing. Police Chief Kevin Hall is speaking openly about the city’s ongoing challenge with its anti-camping ordinance—originally designed to make it easier to connect unhoused individuals with services, but so far, it hasn’t resulted in any citations or, unfortunately, meaningful connections to housing and health resources. The city is rethinking its approach, considering changes that would give officers more discretion—and more tools—to encourage people to seek help rather than just cycle through jail. The focus remains on community safety and real solutions for those most at risk, especially as winter approaches.

In a troubling case, Dupree Meadows, fifty-seven, appeared in court this week, facing charges of arson and assault after an incident last month under the North Brown Street viaduct. Court documents detail how another man was set on fire, suffering burns on over two-thirds of his body, and had to be flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The case underscores the complexities of homelessness and mental health in our community, as Meadows’ own lack of stable housing and criminal history complicate both the legal and human sides of the story. The victim and suspect had known each other for a decade, reminding us that these issues are deeply personal, even as they play out in public spaces.

Switching gears, let’s talk about what you can do today. If you’re looking for something totally unique, check out Shootfest at Northtown Mall. Starting just after noon, this basketball edition of “Horse” is a community favorite, drawing players, families, and spectators for a day of friendly competition. Organizers say the rules are tweaked for fairness—no dunking or fancy dribbling, so anyone can win. Even fourteen-year-old Louis Degenhart, last year’s champion, is back for another shot. Beyond the game, local businesses are hoping for a boost as shoppers stick around to cheer and maybe pick up a few things. Head on down, register to play if you dare, or just enjoy the show and the community vibe.

For comedy fans, the Spokane Comedy Club has a stacked weekend. The Dope Show kicks off this afternoon, and the legendary Christopher Titus is in town for a special event tonight—definitely a hot ticket for those who love smart, edgy humor. Looking ahead, Uncle Lazer takes the stage tomorrow, and if you’re aiming for laughs, this is the place.

For music lovers, rock fans, and violin virtuosos alike, Halestorm hits the Spokane Arena tonight, with Lindsey Stirling as the opener. It’s shaping up to be a high-energy e

The crisp air and golden leaves are the perfect backdrop for an energetic lineup of events across the Lilac City today. If you’re looking to jumpstart your evening with rhythm and funk, catch The Motet live at The District Bar starting at 8 PM. These seasoned musicians are famous for their seamless fusion of funk, soul, jazz, and rock, and tonight’s performance promises their signature on-stage chemistry and infectious grooves that always get the crowd moving. Tickets are still available and it’s a fantastic chance to experience one of the country’s top live bands in an intimate Spokane setting.

Fans of alternative rock will want to head to The Big Dipper, where The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus takes the stage at 8 PM. They’ve got anthems ready for full-voice singalongs and a dedicated following, so expect a lively, passionate crowd as they blast out hits and new material alike. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just craving some high-energy live music, it's a solid pick for tonight’s entertainment.

If you prefer a little mystery with your Thursday, there’s Spokane’s Secret Society Mystery Hunt at 502 E Boone Avenue. Starting this evening, it’s an interactive adventure for puzzle lovers and amateur sleuths alike. Roam from clue to clue and solve the secrets of Spokane in a collaborative experience that’s part scavenger hunt, part immersive storytelling. It’s a clever way to see familiar Spokane streets through new eyes and maybe even win a prize for cracking the case.

For those looking to give back, the Isaac Foundation’s Gathering for Giving kicks off this afternoon at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center in Spokane Valley. Running from 4 to 8 PM, it’s a chance to connect with local nonprofits, learn about meaningful ways to support your community, and snag some inspiration from heartfelt testimonials on the power of charitable work, all in the beautiful Great Room.

Laugh seekers get their fix at The Spokane Comedy Club tonight at 7 PM. The club’s Thursday show features sharp standup acts that strike a perfect balance between witty and silly—the kind of power you need to shake off the workday and welcome the weekend early.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Friday promises more excitement with the Hands Across Spokane Community Resource Fair for World Mental Health Day, live concerts, and more arts experiences. But for now, Spokane has plenty to offer you tonight—whether you’re dancing to funk, solving a mystery, rocking out, giving back, or just soaking up the city’s lively energy.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Wednesday, October eighth. Stepping outside, you’ll find the crisp air and clear skies that come with fall in Spokane. Today’s forecast calls for plenty of sunshine with a high of seventy-three and a low around forty-eight, so it’s a beautiful day to get out and enjoy the city.

In top news, a bizarre incident this week in Spokane Valley saw a man break into a local bank using a flowerpot. The suspect told deputies he was trying to help someone he thought was inside, but after discovering the building was empty, he stayed anyway and was soon surrounded by authorities. The man is now facing burglary and malicious mischief charges. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but repairs to the bank’s front door are expected to be costly.

On the city beat, Spokane continues to adapt to new statewide housing mandates, with local leaders discussing the impacts of upcoming co-living requirements. This push for shared housing is aimed at expanding affordable options, and as the deadline approaches, residents and city officials alike are working to ensure Spokane’s neighborhoods remain both welcoming and vibrant.

If you’re looking to be more involved or just want to enjoy what Spokane has to offer today, there’s plenty going on. Early this evening, the Spokane Buddhist Temple is hosting a “Beginning Buddhism” session with visiting monastics, open to anyone curious about mindfulness or meditation. Meanwhile, over at Swing Lounge downtown, happy hour runs from three to five thirty, so it’s a great spot to catch up with friends or unwind after work.

Sports fans can celebrate local youth athletics with the Spokane Shadow Soccer Club in action this week, building on a strong performance from the weekend. For those preferring to be active participants, the A4Y Rogers Zone Andrew Rypien run takes place today, offering a chance to hit the pavement, meet neighbors, and support a great cause.

It’s also Customer Service Week, so take a moment to thank some of the city’s friendly faces who help Spokane run smoothly—whether you’re calling City Hall or stopping into your local library.

Looking ahead, get ready for more autumn celebrations from the spooky Candlelight Halloween concerts on the thirtieth, to family-friendly theater performances popping up later in the month. Keep an eye on community calendars for all the latest, and don’t forget, the sunrise Sukkot service is happening bright and early at Temple Beth Shalom.

That’s your Spokane snapshot for Wednesday. Enjoy all that our city has to offer today, whether you’re catching an event, cheering on local teams, or just soaking up the beautiful fall weather. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Big news this week, Spokane is launching a new homeless outreach model aimed at providing quicker and more coordinated support for individuals in need. The first week of October sees teams on the ground, boosting the city’s efforts to connect folks with vital services and stable housing. Community leaders hope this approach will not only make a difference for Spokane’s homeless population but also improve the quality of life for all residents, as the outreach teams collaborate closely with local agencies and health services.

If you’re looking for things to do today and want to support local, the Hillyard Farmers Market runs this afternoon at the Northeast Community Center starting at 3 p.m. It’s the perfect place to grab fresh produce, check out homemade goods, and connect directly with some of the farmers and makers who keep Spokane’s food scene thriving. Later today, foodies can head downtown to Cochinito Taqueria for their daily happy hour from three to five thirty. It’s a great after-work spot to enjoy inventive tacos and share plates with friends in a lively atmosphere.

For all of the campus crew at Spokane Falls, the Alliance Club holds its weekly meeting at 2 p.m. in the LGBTQ plus Student Center. It’s a welcoming space for students to connect, find community, and discuss the issues that matter most to them.

If antiquing and one-of-a-kind finds are more your style, don’t miss the last day of Custer’s 50th Annual Fall Antique and Vintage Show at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center. Discover treasures ranging from rare collectibles to mid-century and rustic garden gems as over a hundred Northwest vendors transform the hall into a vintage wonderland. This event has something for everyone, whether you’re a serious collector or just love a trip down memory lane.

We’re waking up to a beautiful autumn day across Spokane, with sunny skies, gentle winds, and a high near 65 degrees expected this afternoon, so grab a light jacket and get outside to catch those golden rays before the chill sets in tonight.

If you’re searching for some real fall flavor, Spokane Valley is still bustling with the sights and sounds of the Spokane Renaissance Faire, wrapping up today at 5 p.m. If you’re a fan of costumes, jousting knights, and old-world revelry, this is your last chance to dive into medieval magic.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, October 4th, 2025. It is a crisp fall morning here in the Inland Northwest, and we have a full slate of news and events to keep you in the know and out having fun in your city.

Let’s start downtown where the WSECU Fall Fest is taking over Riverfront Park and River Park Square from 11 this morning until 5 this afternoon. Free admission means no excuses to miss out on pumpkin carving contests, a petting zoo, live jazz, and a celebration of all things fall. Bring a pumpkin from home or pick one up at the event, and don’t forget you can donate to the MLK Food Bank while you’re there. It is family-friendly and a great way to support your community while having a blast as the leaves start to turn.

For those wanting to travel back in time, the Spokane Renaissance Fair is back and bigger than ever at the Spokane County Fairgrounds today and tomorrow.

Turning to the news, Spokane is still absorbing the impact of last weekend’s tragic events at Eastern State Hospital, where security guard Colleen Bass lost her life and the suspect was involved in a series of violent incidents throughout the night. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office has released more information this week, though the motive remains unknown. Our thoughts are with the families and all those affected as the community continues to process the loss.

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, October 2nd, 2025.

Kicking off your Thursday, Spokane wakes up under those rainclouds we’ve seen all week, but the forecast promises things will start to dry out this afternoon. After some steady showers overnight and a chilly start to the day—you might even have spotted your breath on the South Hill—expect those clouds to slowly clear, with highs in the low sixties. By Friday and Saturday, it’s back to plenty of sunshine, so outdoor plans should be in good shape for the weekend.

Today’s top news is stirring up conversation across Spokane. The so-called South Hill rapist Kevin Coe, now 78 years old, is likely to be released tomorrow. Experts say due to heart disease, limited mobility, and ongoing mental health issues, he’s unlikely to reoffend. While the Attorney General’s office isn’t fighting the release, Coe will remain a registered sex offender for life and plans call for him to move into an adult group home. Look for special coverage after the hearing, which could bring closure for some and discomfort for others in the community.

Updates are also in on crime from earlier in the week—the Medical Examiner has identified the suspect in the deadly Medical Lake crime spree as Sathaniel Bunch, who died by suicide after fatally shooting a security guard at Eastern State Hospital. Meanwhile, Coeur d’Alene detectives are still seeking information after the brutal attack on Susan Stratton. They’re urging anyone in the Skyline area with security footage from late September 17th to the early hours of the 18th to come forward.

Business owners are bracing for a change as Washington’s minimum wage is set to rise to $17.13 an hour in 2026, keeping the state at the top of the nation for pay floors. Workers are cheering the increase, but some local business groups, including Greater Spokane Incorporated, worry the hike will squeeze small employers and tighten family budgets as prices adjust.

For those looking to enjoy a little fun tonight, you can head over to the Spokane After Dark Murder Mystery event at 204 East Desmet Avenue. Or take the family down the yellow brick road with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz Experience happening today in town—perfect for kids and nostalgia lovers alike.

Board game and anime fans can check out Sage’s Portal Café for a full slate of gaming events, including trivia and new card game demo nights. For those aiming for something more creative, remember that the 47th Annual Quilt Show kicks off tomorrow at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center, running all weekend with hundreds of beautiful quilts on display.

Before we go, a special mention: a group of local veterans is flying to Washington, DC today to visit the memorials built in their honor. Safe travels and thanks go out to them from all of us in Spokane.
