Good morning, Spokane. Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 29th of September.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Volunteers from Spokane Reimagined installed 29 hand-built benches at bus stops over the weekend—without prior approval—to call for better seating for those who walk, bike and use transit.

CULTURE NEWS

EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Incumbent Gary Vanderholm, who has served on the Riverside School Board for 25 years, and first-time candidate Sarah Ramsden, a speech language pathologist at Mt. Spokane, are running for the school board seat and both stress the need for safer, cooler school spaces—especially with plans to support an $18 million capital levy in November for upgrades. Their campaigns focus on improving the outdated HVAC system and increasing transparency in spending local tax dollars. The Spokesman-Review
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ A Spokane radio host, G.R. Mobley, urged Stevens County commissioners at a Sept. 16 meeting to form a committee to review the U.S. Constitution in an effort to reclaim the republic. The idea — involving former Commissioner Wes McCart and others — has stalled as disagreements over bylaws and record-keeping raise legal concerns over the Open Public Meetings Act. The Spokesman-Review
- ➤ Spokane County law enforcement will soon add memorial stickers on patrol cars to honor Sergeant Kenneth Salas, who died last month on Interstate 90 near Four Lakes while clearing debris—his 34 years of service and near-retirement status are remembered with the L558 sticker. Salas was struck by a motorcycle, and the sticker serves as a lasting tribute to his dedication. KXLY
REAL ESTATE NEWS
- ➤ Built in 1910, the 15-story building on Stevens Street and Riverside was first the Old National Bank with light brick and glazed terra cotta tile that set a new mark in Spokane’s skyline. Nearby, Spokane Realty built an eight-story Realty Building with plans for expansion that later housed a radio station, police, and low-income apartments — now known as the Delaney Apartments. The Spokesman-Review
SPORTS NEWS
- ➤ WSU football coach Jimmy Rogers changed his game plan four games into the season—he replaced Jaxon Potter with Zevi Eckhaus as the starting quarterback after a weak running game left the team struggling. Upcoming games against Ole Miss and Virginia will test the new approach as the Cougars look to boost their performance. The Spokesman-Review
- ➤ Multiple ParaSport Spokane athletes have traveled 7,000 miles to New Delhi, India to compete in the World Para Athletics Championships, which began on Sept 27 and will run through Oct 5. The team includes three current athletes and three alumni who will take part in track and field events—races, jumps, and throws—for Team USA. KXLY
- ➤ Mt. Spokane rallied to secure a signature win in the Battle of the Bell—junior quarterback Cade Strocsher threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Rock Franklin with 24 seconds left, turning a bruised start into a comeback victory.
