Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, March 12th.
Start your day with a moment of reflection as flags across the City of Spokane fly at half-staff today in remembrance of civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, honoring his lifelong fight for justice that inspired communities like ours. But hold on tight, folks, because Mother Nature is bringing the real drama with a high wind warning in effect until 11 a.m. Expect southwest gusts up to 65 mph overnight into this morning, whipping through downtown Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights, and beyond, potentially toppling trees, knocking out power, and making drives sketchy especially for high-profile vehicles. City crews, first responders, and Spokane 311 are on high alert, ready to tackle damage reports, while Avista urges everyone to have a safety plan, stay low in your home, and watch for flying debris, patchy blowing dust in spots like the Columbia Basin could add to the chaos.
If youre dodging the gusts later, shake off the storm with some green-themed fun as St. Patricks Day celebrations kick off early, including a lively University of Idaho Vandal gathering in Spokane from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight, perfect for toasting with fellow alumni amid parades and pub crawls lighting up Spokane Valley. Families, get the kids bouncing at Jump For Joy in Spokane Valley where open jump sessions run from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, just $11 an hour plus tax for hours of trampoline thrills that build energy and confidence. Students at Spokane Community College can unwind in the Game Room from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with free pool, ping pong, and video games to spark some friendly competition.
Nature lovers, head out to Wildland Cooperative in Colbert at 4:30 p.m. for a Spokane Riverkeeper happy hour, sipping the special For the River beer where every pour supports river health, paired with farm-to-table bites from their regenerative organic farm thats salmon-safe and wildlife-friendly, plus sign up for their 2026 CSA to lock in fresh, nutrient-packed produce. Eastern Washington University wraps the evening with a Speaker Series on the Future of Work and Entrepreneurship from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Catalyst Building, offering insights to fuel your career ambitions right here at home.
Stay safe out there, Spokane, as these winds remind us how our community pulls together through every squall. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
