Good morning, Spokane.

Spokane’s Boulevard Race finished Sunday with about 3,500 runners, walkers, and wheelers completing a 4-mile course along the Spokane Falls Boulevard route—sponsors offered treats and cheer zones to boost morale.

The race raised funds to support the Community Cancer Fund and is expected to become a beloved fall tradition.

After a car struck a barrier on the westbound I-90 off-ramp to southbound US-195 on Sunday, crews completed emergency bridge repairs by 6 p.m.—yet additional work on the I-90 to US-195 ramp has kept two right lanes closed between Maple Street and the interchange, causing delays.

Jessica Anundson, a parent in Spokane Public Schools, announced her run against board member Hilary Kozel for a two-year seat on the board, saying her firsthand experience with a first-grader gives her a clear view of student needs.

Both candidates—backed by local leaders and key endorsements—support district initiatives such as the school bond and updated safety policies.

On Saturday, Spokane Transit Authority offered its first official double-decker bus ride at Cheney’s Eagle Station where more than 50 community members joined a noon ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Eastern Washington University officials and local leaders cut the ribbon and said the new bus will run during busy school days to offer a unique transit option.

Starting today, Spokane drivers face delays on North Ash Street as construction causes lane reductions from three lanes to one between West Indiana Avenue and West Maxwell Avenue due to stalled work on bike and pedestrian safety upgrades; these slowdowns are expected until September 24th. Crews will also resume work on a new water transmission main along Francis Avenue, leading to additional lane closures and congestion on nearby roads until October 2nd.

Eastern Washington University beat Western Illinois in a convincing game—registering its first win of the season.

The team now prepares for upcoming contests to build on this momentum.

During the Saturday Apple Cup, UW beat WSU 59—24 with key plays from Denzel Boston that gave the Huskies an early advantage.

WSU coach Jimmy Rogers said a fake quarterback competition was used to mask his team's struggles and that improvements are needed before the next game.

Former Washington State player Chau Smith-Wade scored his first NFL touchdown by returning an interception 11 yards for a pick-six in the Carolina Panthers' 30-0 win over the Falcons on Sunday—he also recorded five tackles.
