Preservation program helps keep Spokane's architectural character
When a building is torn down in Spokane County, permit fees collected from the demolition are redirected to a fund that helps preserve the facades of historic structures that still remain.

Our downtown has way too many surface parking lots. In my proposal, we exempt student, resident and employee parking and give a substantial credit for structured lots.
An upcoming ordinance, if passed by city council, would tax surface and garage parking lots. Funds would go to transportation projects like street and sidewalk maintenance. The ordinance is scheduled for a final council reading on Nov. 17. Read more here:
Spokane City Council considers taxing commercial parking lots – RANGE Media
The tax would add about $0.50 to a $3.85 parking fee and fund street repair. But it’s not just about revenue, it’s about increasing vibrancy downtown.

People often assume that #Spokane voters are conservative because we are in eastern Washington. Not so. However, the Inland Northwest region, which includes north Idaho has the full spectrum of ideological perspectives.
The city of Spokane swung further left in the Nov. 4 election, with progressives capitalizing on apparent dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump to sweep three City Council races. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/11/14/w...
With progressive council wins, Spokane swings left • Washington State Standard
The wins give progressives a 6-1 advantage on the City Council, and also further cement Spokane’s status as an oasis of blue in eastern Washington.

Cool thing about Spokane: we banned these in city limits
This story introduced me to a new "innovation": bitcoin ATMs, or BTMs. They convert cash into crypto, which can then be transferred to a digital wallet.
And guess what? They facilitate impersonation fraud, routinely. DC's attorney general just sued one of the big operators. James Baratta reports:

Once described as the ‘AR-15s of the financial services industry,’ crypto ATMs remain a hotbed for scams targeting vulnerable communities. But third-party fraudsters aren’t the only ones laughing all ...
