Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, November 29th, 2025.We're diving right into a busy Saturday with plenty of holiday festivities kicking off across the Inland Northwest. If you're looking to get into the spirit of the season, downtown Spokane is the place to be. The Numerica Tree Lighting Celebration is happening this evening from 4 to 7 PM at the plaza adjacent to the Numerica Skate Ribbon. Festivities kick off at 4 PM with food trucks and live entertainment, and the big moment comes at 6 PM when we light up the community tree. So bundle up, grab your ice skates, and bring some hot cocoa because this is a tradition that brings so many Spokane families together on Thanksgiving weekend.Speaking of holiday cheer, winter markets are popping up all over town today. The Scale House Market, Spokane's year-round indoor facility, is hosting a winter market to support small businesses, and the Kendall Yards area is bringing the magic with its first Night Market Winter Festival. If you want to support local shops, today is Small Business Saturday, so there's no better time to explore what downtown has to offer.If you're in the mood for some entertainment beyond shopping, the Spokane Chiefs are taking on the Kelowna Rockets tonight at 6:05 PM at Numerica Veterans Arena. And for the whole family, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is performing at the Spokane Civic Theatre this evening. For those who like a little mystery and adventure, Spokane's Secret Society Mystery Hunt is happening today as well.On the news front, we're keeping an eye on a couple of serious matters. An Airway Heights couple has been charged with imprisoning a teenager for three days in their bedroom without food. The teen managed to escape to a neighbor's apartment, and both suspects are being held on 100-thousand-dollar bonds. Additionally, a single-vehicle rollover crash occurred on North Rambo Road near West Euclid Road, resulting in one death and another person being hospitalized.The Washington State Patrol is increasing patrols throughout the holiday weekend, reminding drivers to slow down and be extra cautious as holiday travel picks up and weather conditions get colder. They emphasize that technique over speed is what keeps everyone safe on our roads.So whether you're hitting the holiday events downtown, supporting local businesses, or just enjoying a Saturday with family, make it a safe and wonderful day here in Spokane.This has been Spokane Local Frequency.
