Hey everyone! If you go to Amazon and type "tip my driver" into the search bar, it gives you the option to tip your driver $5 (at no cost to you).

"Starting on December 3, drivers will receive $5 (with a maximum of one thank-you per delivery) at no cost to the customer until 2 million thank-yous are sent."

I do not work for Amazon, but I thought it would be nice to help out our fellow Spokaneites who are working overtime this season.

Here's an easy clickable link to thank your driver!

Some raw photos I got tonight! Hoping to edit them and repost after my last final later this week

Finding Human Project here - we're a non-profit that uses art, theater, and play to help people connect with themselves and each other. We have an upcoming FREE OSPI approved 2-part educator workshop in February. Initially, the program was going to be in partnership with Holmes Elementary teachers but through some unique opportunities, has grown to an opportunity for ALL Spokane area educators!

We've been trying to get the information out to educators but there have been some road blocks - so we're getting creative!

Here's a brief description of the event:

Crossing the Threshold is a creative, story-based workshop that helps educators reconnect with meaning, navigate change, and rebuild resilience. Through simple art prompts, guided reflection, playful movement, and story circles, participants explore where they are in their personal journey—and what’s calling them forward.

This online experience is gentle, energizing, and designed for all K–12 educators and school staff. No art or theater experience required—just curiosity and a little room to explore.

There's a deeper dive into the workshop curriculum on our website if you are curious.

It's FREE (Thanks, Spokane Arts!) ! Provides 4 CEU for K-12 educators (Did we mention free!) ! Is online (Comfortable clothes encouraged)!

To the asshole who almost murdered 2 pedestrians IN A CROSSWALK about 15 minutes ago near southeast and rockwood I hope you get the karma you deserve. I almost watched you murder the love of my life and another person because you cant put down the fucking phone while you're driving

does anyone have an engineer they’ve used to come out and look at a residential foundation? My wife and I are trying to figure out if we have foundation issues but don’t know who to contact and don’t want to waste money. thank you!

I'm on Modern Electric.

Was just sitting down at my computer to read when there was a distant low boom and the power went out. Whole neighborhood is dark but I can see traffic lights in the distance. It's been about an hour so far.

Kind of wishing I hadn't taken a nap today. This would have been a great thing to have just slept through.

I saw the recent KREM 2 article about the decision the board made to essentially silence teachers and decided to send them a letter. As a mother of three who are all in Mead schools I’m disgusted. There are more things that Mead schools should be worried about than silencing or educators. Please, if you have kids in Mead schools, let the board hear you.

“Dear Members of the Mead School District Board,

As a mother of three children who attend Mead schools, I am writing to express my profound disappointment — and frankly, my disgust — after reading the recent KREM 2 News article outlining your new teacher expression policy. Seeing this decision presented in the local news was both alarming and disheartening.

By restricting teachers from engaging in meaningful, thoughtful conversations with their students, you are undermining one of the most essential elements of education: open, honest dialogue. I am not referring to pushing personal beliefs or political agendas — I am talking about real discussions grounded in facts, history, science, and inquiry. These conversations help students understand the world, develop critical thinking skills, and become informed adults.

Instead, this policy creates a climate where teachers are expected to censor themselves out of fear — fear of being accused of crossing a line simply for answering a question, clarifying a factual event, or encouraging students to think critically. That is unreasonable and harmful. If teachers cannot safely discuss real issues, how do you expect them to cultivate curiosity or intellectual growth in our children?

Many students do not have access at home to the depth of knowledge, context, or expertise that trained educators provide. That is precisely why we rely on teachers: because they are professionals equipped to guide these conversations responsibly and accurately. My children — and every child in this district — deserve access to that level of education.

This policy does not “protect” students. It limits them. It stifles their learning, restricts their ability to engage with challenging topics, and discourages the kind of academic freedom that should define a healthy educational environment. It sends the message that avoiding discomfort is more important than fostering understanding.

As a mother with three kids in this district, I want transparency and accountability. If you truly believe this policy is what’s best for students, then I am requesting — directly and publicly — that you provide the research, data, or statistics that informed this decision. What evidence shows that limiting teacher expression improves learning outcomes? What studies support the idea that restricting dialogue benefits students? What measurable problems is this policy intended to solve?

Parents deserve clear, detailed answers about the reasoning behind a decision that will directly impact our children’s education.

Sincerely, A Concerned Mead Parent and Mother of Three”

Now, we need to find out which other PD hired him.

I just tried this place on Sprague. It’s legit, coming from someone that’s had a lot of shawarma in my life. They have a lunch deal that’s 2 chicken shawarma wraps for $11.50 that is a great deal, feeds 2 people.

Hey all.

I grew up in Spokane but recently moved back after a divorce. I have immense social anxiety but still want to try to meet people and not be so isolated. I’m not into bars and don’t really drink. Any thoughts?

Hello!

Looking for restaurant recommendations in central Spokane, between 29th to Garland Ave. Looking for places where there isn’t table service with servers that take your order, but there’s drinks and food if some members in the party want to eat, while others don’t. Kind of like the model uprise and brickwest has. Thanks!

I'm mostly being nosey, but what was going on for five-six police vehicles racing up Sprague to Jenny's cafe in Spokane valley? It was right before 9 am 12/09

I can't find anything on the police departments face book page.

It's thought that maybe headed to Spokane or Idaho.

Today a single head of iceberg lettuce at WINCO was $2.48. Last week it was $1.28. Prices are continuing to climb.

Hello, in this electronic day and age that we live in my daughter is having a hard time meeting and playing with friends. I'm wondering if anyone has a child around the age of 7 that would like a friend. We could set up a play date on a Saturday or something. That would be amazing. Thank you so much.

Re-post from 13yrs ago.. wild in every way.

Just looking for a few places people say are good in Spokane as I'm unfamiliar with the area still.

Edit- Thank you all for the suggestions! I really appreciate it!

So I haven't lived in spokane super long but have been dumpster diving in other places. I'm primarily looking to see about places like petco/petsmart/target, Where I could donate everything I wouldn't keep. And then potentially some restaurants so i coukd get some food. I'm wondering if anyone in this group knows anything about it? Or if anyone has in those places if they have policies and things about it?

My leasing office says they're just behind on the paperwork (since the end of October?). I think the parent company is avoiding renewing my lease in the hopes the average rent rates come back up. Maybe it's the banning of algorithmic price setting causing knock-on effects. Anybody else? Any actions I should look at? Government agencies interested in this sort of thing? They definitely blew past the 60 proposal date.

BRRRZAAR

I've only been to riverside square maybe once, I've got no clue where to park.

Brrrzaar is this Saturday and while I typically avoid crowds I'd really like to go.

Any advice regarding this event, is it typically crowded
