Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Monday, September 22, 2025. Hope you enjoyed the crisp weekend weather because Spokane has a stacked lineup of things to do and plenty of local news to keep you in the loop as we kick off the week. First up, a big shoutout to everyone who laced up and took to the 4-mile Boulevard Race course yesterday in the University District. Runners, walkers, bands, and bubble-blowers came together to raise crucial funds for the Community Cancer Fund, supporting Inland Northwest families battling cancer. Organizers say this year's event brought out some of the best crowd energy yet, with cheer zones, Scream Tunnels, and even donuts along the scenic tree-lined route.
Monday means there’s another chance to do good with your dinner. Tonight from five to eight, the Texas Roadhouse on North Newport Highway hosts the annual Tip-A-Cop event. Spokane officers will swap badges for aprons, serving as celebrity waiters to raise money for Special Olympics Washington. All tips from police go directly to support over twelve thousand athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities right here in our state. It’s all part of a year-long 50th anniversary celebration for Special Olympics Washington, so come hungry and ready to give.
On the sports front, it was high drama last night as Spokane Velocity FC took on first-place Chattanooga Red Wolves. The match ended in a narrow 2-1 defeat for Spokane after leading into the second half. Despite the loss, spirits remain high with midfielder Luis Gil and forward Neco Brett promising a strong rebound this Saturday when Velocity hosts Greenville Triumph at ONE Spokane Stadium. Kickoff is at six and tickets are moving fast, so soccer fans should act quickly.
If you’re eyeing some fall adventures, don’t forget the Spokane RV Expo Sale wraps up today at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center. It’s your last shot to browse over a thousand RVs and outdoor gear for end-of-season deals. While you’re there, families can also pop over to Just Between Friends for major savings on kids’ clothes, shoes, and toys.
Art lovers and Gonzaga students may want to check out the High Bay Mural Contest that opens today. This unique project asks Zags to create mural designs blending Spokane landmarks and engineering inspiration. The winning design will be displayed for years to come inside the Bollier Center, with the call for entries open until mid-October.
Looking ahead, theater enthusiasts will want to snag tickets for the hit musical Some Like It Hot, which opens its weeklong run tomorrow at the First Interstate Center for the Arts. If you’re a comedy fan, the buzz is already growing for the upcoming Great Outdoors Comedy Festival. Stay tuned for more on those as the week unfolds.
A quick safety note for travelers: due to the Labor Mountain Fire, US 97 at Blewett Pass remains closed with no estimated reopening, so if you’re driving across the Cascades, plan to take US 2 or I-90, though expect delays near the Vantage Bridge due to roadwork.
That wraps up today’s round of Spokane’s happenings—packed with community spirit, local sports, arts, and a dash of fall adventure. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
