Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025.Let’s start with a heads-up from the Spokane County Assessor’s Office. Residents are being warned about spoofing scam calls happening after hours. These calls may look official, but they are not coming from the county, so if you see “Spokane County” pop up unexpectedly don’t share any personal or financial info and consider reporting the suspicious call to Crime Check. Authorities are keeping a close eye on this situation, and officials urge everyone to stay vigilant.Turning to community happenings, today marks the last chance to catch Eastern Washington University’s “Conservation of Mass” art exhibition, which wraps up its run at the Gallery of Art. If you’re looking to brighten someone’s holiday season, the YWCA’s 10th Annual Family Wish List Program is underway, hoping to serve 90 Spokane families facing tough times—community members can deliver donated gifts now through early December, or contribute online to lift local spirits this winter.The holiday build-up is truly kicking into gear. The Salvation Army Spokane has their signature Corporate Kettle Kick-Off event in full swing, rallying local businesses and residents for another fundraising season aimed at supporting those in need. The event stretches from Tuesday through Thursday, energizing volunteers and boosting the familiar sounds of bells around the city.For family fun, Jump For Joy has open jump times today from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. A great spot to get some energy out, especially as the days grow shorter. Meanwhile, the Medicare Annual Election is happening at Inland Empire Insurance Group Clinic today from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., helping locals sort out health coverage questions during open enrollment.Let’s talk music and entertainment—tonight, New York Times bestselling humorist David Sedaris takes the stage, charming audiences with his signature wit. This weekend, Disney On Ice transforms the Spokane Arena into a magical playground featuring beloved characters—shows run November 14 through 16, so grab tickets if you’re looking for a fun night out with the kids.Looking further ahead, Handel’s Messiah returns to St. John’s Cathedral later this month—the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus is always a holiday highlight and tickets sell quickly. Bing Crosby Holiday Fest is also gearing up with classic movie screenings and festive performances right in the historical heart of town. Stay tuned for Pops 3: Home for the Holidays with the Spokane Symphony as well, bringing beloved seasonal tunes to the stage.And for those with a passion for food and sustainability, the SCD Farm & Food Symposium continues today at CenterPlace in Spokane Valley, showcasing innovation in agriculture and local eats until 4:30 p.m. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with community growers and organizations shaping Spokane’s food future.That’s a wrap for a lively Thursday in Spokane—with arts, giving, holiday kickoff events, and more, it’s a great day to be keeping up with all things local.
