Listen ""Scorching Sunday in Spokane: Heatwave, Wildfires, and Community Updates""
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Sunday, July 13th, 2025. It is already shaping up to be a hot day across the Inland Northwest, with the heat advisory still in effect until 8 PM tomorrow. Expect high temperatures hovering between 95 and 105 degrees, and overnight lows staying surprisingly warm. If you are spending time outdoors or know anyone without air conditioning, please check in and keep hydrated. Shade, water, and light clothing are your best friends on a scorcher like this. For those eager to beat the heat, remember that cooling centers around Spokane are open and ready to keep you comfortable.Turning now to the latest headlines, all evacuations have been lifted for residents near the Aubrey Fire by Riverside State Park after crews successfully held the burn area to 50 acres. Over in Stevens County, a wildfire near East Deer Lake Road prompted level one evacuations, but firefighters have made impressive progress, with seventy percent of that fire now contained and air support continuing mop up work. No structures have been damaged, and emergency management officials are asking everyone to avoid the area to give crews the space they need.Local news also brings a sense of relief this morning for one Spokane family. Thirteen-year-old Simeon Wiens, who was missing in Bellevue, has been found and safely reunited with his family. Bellevue police credit both residents and social media for helping quickly circulate his description and bring him home.In community news, Cherry Hill Orchard and Market is celebrating its season opening today after last year’s crop failure, inviting everyone to come experience those first ripe cherries of the summer. And after more than a hundred years of service, United Way of Spokane County is winding down operations, closing a chapter of giving that has impacted generations of Spokane residents.For those looking to make the most of their Sunday, there is plenty happening across town. Music fans might want to check out Lanie Gardner performing live at the Spokane Tribe Casino in Airway Heights tonight. If you have a passion for theater, MJ: The Musical—the Broadway hit inspired by the King of Pop—wraps its Spokane run tonight at the First Interstate Center for the Arts, with tickets still available for the 6:30 PM show. If a family outing is more your style, the Garland Theater is screening Spirited Away at 2 PM, a great way to escape the heat and catch a film classic on the big screen.Finally, a special shoutout to Spokane’s own Dan Amann, who crossed the finish line first at this year’s Hayden Triathlon. It’s another example of local talent shining beyond city limits, and a great inspiration for anyone training for their next race.That’s just a slice of what’s happening today and in the days ahead in Spokane.
