Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Tuesday, February 11, 2025. We're starting off the day with some exciting news from Mayor Lisa Brown, who has just signed an executive order aimed at strengthening community and cultural events in Spokane. This move is expected to reduce costs for both organizers and the city, making it easier for everyone to enjoy the rich cultural landscape Spokane has to offer[1].
In other news, the city is still dealing with the aftermath of a recent fire alarm response that turned into an accident involving Truck 13. The incident occurred while the truck was descending a hill, and thankfully, no serious injuries were reported. Firefighters have also been busy responding to a home fire in the 2500 block of North Belt Street, where flames were seen coming from the front of the house[1].
On a lighter note, there are plenty of fun activities to look forward to in Spokane. Today, you can join the "Leading Your Business In 2025" symposium, which explores economic and public policy trends, as well as cybersecurity issues. This event is open to business, nonprofit, and public sector professionals and is a great opportunity to stay informed about the latest developments in these areas[2].
For those looking for something more leisurely, Riverfront Spokane has a variety of events lined up. Today is Cheap Skate Tuesdays, where you can enjoy free skate rentals with every paid admission at the Numerica Skate Ribbon. And if you're planning ahead, mark your calendars for Valentine's Day, when you can surprise your sweetheart with a magical ice skating date[4].
Later this month, there are several community events worth checking out. The 2025 Downtown Spokane Annual Meeting & Best in BID Awards is happening on February 20, celebrating the past year and looking forward to an exciting future for downtown Spokane. Additionally, the MPSF Indoor Track & Field Conference Championships will take place at The Podium from February 21 to 22, featuring top athletes from the region[2].
If you're interested in supporting local causes, the 10th Annual Backwoods Flannel Ball is scheduled for February 22, benefiting children in foster care. And for families, KSPS PBS Future Day on February 22 offers a free event full of hands-on play designed to ignite children's curiosity about the world of work[2].
Finally, for those interested in advocacy, the Olympia Fly-In 2025 is happening from February 11 to 13, where business leaders from across the region will meet with lawmakers to advocate for Spokane regional interests[5].
