Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8, 2025.A crisp November morning greets us as Spokane settles into fall, and there’s plenty happening around town to keep you connected. Let’s start with a bit of local news from City Hall.

Residents spoke out on October 27, prompting the city council to defer a decision until next week, so if this issue matters to you, now’s the time to stay tuned and get involved. Spokane Police Chief Kevin Hall also issued a statement Friday about recent internal investigations. Two officers resigned after being found in violation of department policy, specifically regarding inappropriate conduct while on duty. Chief Hall reassured the public that swift action was taken and that most officers uphold Spokane’s trust every day.In other local headlines, a Spokane man was found not guilty of assaulting a Border Patrol agent, flights out of Spokane International continue to experience delays due to the federal government shutdown, and Spokane city council is weighing a new parking tax for downtown.
