Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Monday, April 6.
Rise and shine, Spokane, with sunrise at 6:18 this morning and sunset at 7:26 this evening, giving us a generous 13 hours and 8 minutes of daylight to make the most of our spring vibes. Weather looks comfortable today, starting clear around 48 degrees overnight and warming to the 70s, though keep an eye on those early fire concerns as we head into the week. Winds are light this morning at about 2 meters per second, but gusts could pick up, so plan your outdoor adventures accordingly.
Kicking off today, its the start of National Public Health Week here in Spokane, running through April 12 with the catchy theme Ready, Set, Action. The Spokane Regional Health District is spotlighting how their work from pollution prevention to getting nutritious food to families touches our everyday lives. Tune into their Facebook Live this Wednesday at 10 a.m. for a chat with Health Officer Dr. Velázquez and Community Health Director Melissa McDaniel, breaking down real impacts like cleaner air and healthier communities. Look for blue lights downtown and social media posts all week to join the action.
On the roads, watch for left lane closures on Greene Street between Mission and Ermina avenues starting at 6 a.m. today through Friday. Crews are building traffic islands in the median for the North Spokane Corridor project, so right lanes stay open but expect delays that could ripple into your commute, helping shape smoother traffic flow for us all long-term.
Community spirit is strong after a break-in at beloved Dear Coco Café, where owner Celeste Shaw is battling health challenges amid the setback, but neighbors are rallying with support to keep this local gem brewing. Meanwhile, Spokane might need to hire dozens more public defenders to handle caseloads, a move that could mean fairer justice and faster resolutions for folks caught in the system.
Students, mark your calendars: its the first day of Spring Quarter at Spokane Falls Community College, buzzing with new classes and opportunities to level up your skills right here at home.
Whether youre dodging construction, joining health chats, or soaking up that extra daylight on a hike or café run, Spokane is alive with connections that make our city thrive. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
