Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November 15th, 2025.Kicking off your weekend with the big stories making waves in Spokane, we start just next door in Post Falls where residents are still reeling from the bizarre sight of a house leveled by an excavator. Early Friday morning, officers arrested a 29-year-old man accused of deliberately demolishing a nearly finished home in the neighborhood. Shock and disbelief rippled through the block as neighbors surveyed the damage, but cleanup crews are moving fast, and the property developer says they'll rebuild, though it could take up to a year before a new home stands on that lot.Back in Spokane, the city’s budget challenges remain center stage. Mayor Lisa Brown has unveiled a proposal to address a 13 million dollar deficit. While nearly 20 city jobs are set for cuts, it could have been much higher, and the good news is there are no proposals to boost utility taxes or trim back essential city services like snow plowing. That’s a relief as winter approaches. The mayor’s emergency declaration for increased shelter and food support is also in effect, meaning the city will fund 50 new shelter beds, ramp up eviction prevention, and add mobile addiction treatment services to support those hit hardest by ongoing federal shutdown worries.Meanwhile, schools and parks have something to celebrate. Thanks to strong voter turnout, the Together Spokane initiative has passed, securing millions for new projects across the city. Spokane schools are already packing up to begin building a modern, ADA-accessible Adams Elementary. Expect to see new parks, a trade school, an indoor tennis center, and enhanced recreation facilities springing up over the next several years, all promised to boost life for students, families, and neighborhoods citywide.Now, for those looking for ways to spend the day, families gather for a magical time at the Spokane Arena this morning as Disney On Ice: Let’s Dance takes to the rink at 11 AM. It’s a guaranteed hit with kids and grown-ups alike. Music fans, tonight brings a chance to flash back in style with Pops 2: Back to the '80s at 7:30 PM, also downtown. The Spokane Symphony leads an evening of classic ‘80s hits you can sing along to, from Madonna to Huey Lewis, for that totally tubular nostalgia.Live theater returns this evening as Spokane Falls Community College's Drama Club stages their fall production, Witch, starting at 7:30 in Spartan Theater. And over at New Community, alt-folk duo Over the Rhine will be taking the stage as part of their PNW 2025 tour. For those who love a little mystery with dinner, The Dinner Detective True Crime event plays out this evening at the Spokane Club.If supporting local education is your calling, the WV Ed Foundation Fundraiser kicks off tonight at 6 in the Great Room, and for those willing to venture a bit further, Ritzville holds a critical town hall at 2 to address the future of East Adams Rural Healthcare amid recent funding and investigation challenges.Chilly fall weather means more folks are finding help at pop-up food pantries and meal programs across Spokane, and volunteers are back up to pre-pandemic numbers to meet the surging need. You can find information on where to access support or lend a hand on local news sites.And finally, don’t forget to check out all the weekend’s happenings downtown, from art walks to live music, making sure there’s something to enjoy for everyone in our creative, lively city.This has been Spokane Local Frequency.
