- ➤ Over 30 local artists showed their work at the Spokane Woman’s Club Saturday afternoon at 33 Artist Market, where only 33 of about 125 applicants were chosen. Organizers said the next art show scheduled for this summer will be double the size of Saturday's show. KXLY
ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ Spokane breakfast spots faced steep egg-price increases that peaked at over $8.50 a dozen in February—forcing local diners like Uncle Rusty’s and The Chalet to search for consistent supplies and absorb extra costs. Recent USDA data shows a decline, but owners worry the trend may not last—so they continue to keep prices steady for fixed-income customers. The Spokesman-Review
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Governor Ferguson met with Mayor Brown Saturday to discuss the state's budget challenges and visited the Veterans Home to review plans for a new facility next to the VA Medical Center—he said state funds are in place but federal dollars are still needed—and the budget request now awaits a decision from the legislature. KXLY
- ➤ Jeff Lambert, president of Friends of the Bluff, said state officials rushed a trade for the 200-acre Thorpe property in Latah Valley and that the Board of Natural Resources can cancel the deal at its April 1 meeting—this change would let Spokane get a park. He noted that new numbers and public comments raised concerns on the trade—prompting local leaders to favor the Trust Land Transfer option. The Spokesman-Review

City officials say these plans aim to improve local housing choices as the city continues to develop. The Spokesman-Review

- ➤ Two Wyoming families met at Spokane's Fan Fest Block Party at Riverfront Park on Saturday and enjoyed food trucks, music, and face painting while cheering for college teams.
