Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025. Hope you’re waking up to a hot cup of coffee and plenty of positive energy, because we’ve got a lot to cover as we roll through your mid-November Thursday here in the Inland Northwest.It was a soggy start to the week and you can expect more rain chances today, so don’t forget your umbrella if you’re out running errands or heading downtown. For those who were chasing the Northern Lights last night despite that pesky cloud cover, the skies actually opened up for a while and delivered a surprisingly vibrant celestial show—another reminder that Spokane’s nature can always pull off the unexpected.In city updates, there’s big community spirit rolling through Spokane this November. Galaxy Paint Solutions has launched a heartfelt campaign: for every thousand dollars they earn on a job this month, they’re donating a hundred dollars of food to local banks. The owner says it’s about neighbors helping neighbors when times are tight, and they hope other local businesses follow their lead. Meanwhile, Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners—better known as SNAP—has restarted their popular Cuisine for Clients program, supporting both local restaurants and families who might be struggling to put dinner on the table.Safety is top of mind for Spokane authorities this week. The police department closed a case quickly, arresting a suspect in a series of armed robberies in Hillyard. And on the heels of that news, residents are being urged to stay alert as a new phone scam has been making the rounds—calls that appear to come from the county assessor’s office but are actually fraudulent. If you get a suspicious call after hours, hang up and call back directly just to be sure.On the political front, Eastern Washington’s own Representative Michael Bumgartner was seen hustling to D.C. for a key House vote on the Senate bill, while nationally there’s still talk about SNAP benefit extensions and big swings in food prices that could affect local residents. Speaking of food, with Thanksgiving around the corner, many are getting ready for family and football, but also looking out for those in need as donation drives ramp up.Now, if you’re looking for something to do tonight or this weekend, Spokane has no shortage of options. Comedy fans are in for a treat this evening as David Sedaris brings his wit and storytelling to the Fox Theater at 7:30—grab those last tickets if you haven’t yet. Art lovers can catch the final day of Conservation of Mass at Eastern Washington University’s Gallery of Art. Over at the Bing Crosby Theater and beyond, the holiday spirit is firing up with upcoming events like the annual Bing Crosby Holiday Fest and, for families, open jump sessions at Jump For Joy will keep the kids busy and active indoors. And mark your calendars because the Warren Miller Sno-ciety Film Tour is rolling into town tonight at 7:30 at the Bing for those already dreaming of snow.Looking just ahead, the Salvation Army is continuing its Corporate Kettle Kick-Off all week to support families in need as the holiday season gears up. The local parks department is about to see a boost too, thanks to the recently passed Together Spokane levy—so expect new life and upgrades in our favorite city green spaces soon.That’s your Spokane Local Frequency for today—community, creativity, and caring at the heart of every story. This has been Spokane Local Frequency.
