Any photos of the fire? Trying to get updates.

Visiting Spokane this weekend. Where should I eat? 😋

I was enjoying a nice walk through Riverfront Park when a couple walks by with an unleashed dog. The dog sprinted after and killed a marmot.

​

If they would've just followed the law, that friendly lil' guy would still be here.

Does anyone know if there’s any way to report water restrictions violators?

The strip mall on 29th where Super1 is located regularly waters their landscaping between 1 and 4 pm.

Is there any way to report them and if so is it worth the effort?

I drive in downtown nearly every day. Since summer is here, I've seen the seasonal increase in aggressive and impatient drivers. Don't honk at me for waiting for a pedestrian to cross the street or because I'm not turning on red when there's a big sign that says "No turn on red." at the intersection. You're not going to get anywhere faster by recklessly driving in a pedestrian-heavy area. If anything, someone is eventually going to get killed by one of you who can't wait a few seconds for someone to cross the street.

Do better. Don't be the reason someone gets hit or the reason you get into a preventable accident.

That's all, that's the post.

Hi everybody I recently turned 19 years old and I was forced to start living alone a year ago. I work, I handle my own expenses, I do laundry, I pay rent, I save money, and I was planning for college recently, until I was blocked from getting my passport and then I had a really big loan to pay and without paying it I can't get a passport and without a passport I can't move forward with some essential things because I need a new social security card and the only way to get a new one is by proving my citizenship and the passport is the only fast and cheaper option. My other non guaranteed option was waiting a year and paying $1625.

And. I recently started experiencing racism at work and it's just made me feel really really awful and I just can't get over it and I really am trying my best but Ive never had a family to help me deal with it. And I don't have friends yet to be with bc I've only been in Spokane for 7 months and it's so hard being lonely. Both the passport and the racism have been incredibly discouraging and work has been hard and my existence is always the problem and I can't handle anymore of it

Ive never had a parental figure in my life and I wanted to speak up for a need I have because Im at a point where someone like an older adult needs to step in personally. Not for financial help or paperwork but help me not deal with this alone. somebody being involved personally for me while I figure out the paperwork because I'm all alone and I don't have any options and I'm trying my best but I feel incredibly discouraged at this point and really wish I had a friend to speak with. I know this is super weird but I'm just a human and one way or another this need is asking to be met and being vulnerable and speaking up is the only way life gives me a chance and it's unfair that everybody automatically gets family and friends and parents and I was never given any one of those.

I started planning for college and getting back into soccer and exploring the city and buying a new phone and going out and cooking my own food and eating healthy and listening to music and learning new forms of self expression and learning a new language and building the motivation for myself but the system does. not. make. it. easier.

Happy Juneteenth!

edit: I wasn't born in the US, so I have to rely on a passport for citizenship. My parents took all of my documents before I left I had to start from scratch.

edit 2: please don't dm or comment about links and stuff "professionals" might help with. I know how to do it myself and everything I'm getting recommended is stuff that assumes stability. Please focus on what I'm actually asking for.

And how can we get this to stop? I think it's coming from Avista stadium? My dog gets freaked out by fireworks and its bad enough dealing with it twice a year let alone random weekends throughout the year.

That was fun as hell, we need more events like it around here! I had a blast watching that sweet 2-0 win on the Aussies

I have had my credit card number stolen several times over the past few years and it seems to be happening at local area restaurants whenever a staff member takes the card away to run it. With camera phones so prevalent, it makes it easy to snap a pic of the card information and use or sell that information later. This seems to be a problem in the Spokane area as well. When in a bar or restaurant, insist that they bring a mobile terminal to you at the table and run your card there. Do NOT let the card get out of your sight. Even better, use Apple or Google pay, that way the card number will never be exposed. And Spokane bars and restaurants need to do a better job of offering the ability to pay at the table or with Apple/Google pay.

Hi everyone,

My dog Samantha (6.5 y/o shepherd lab mix) and I (34m) recently relocated to Spokane and are looking for a place to stay while I get settled. I'm a physician assistant and will be starting a new position in August.

Unfortunately, a significant veterinary emergency expense depleted much of the money I had set aside for relocation costs, leaving me quite tight on cash and unable to make the upfront costs to move into a place. Over the past few months, Samantha and I have been traveling throughout the Pacific Northwest and are living comfortably in our truck camper, but now that we're in Spokane and about to start work, having a stable place to call home would make a huge difference.

So its a huge ask, but basically I'm looking for a room, yard space, camper parking spot, guest house, or long-term rental. I'm not asking for free housing- instead I'm just hoping to find someone willing to postpone rent until August 14, 2026, when I receive my first paycheck. At that point, I would be able to immediately catch up on any outstanding rent and remain current moving forward.

For a long-term arrangement, my budget is up to $2,000 per month.

If you have a place available or know someone who might be able to help, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

My buddy Schuyler M. passed away. If anyone knew him, please DM me. I'm specifically looking for his brother or old roommate. Thanks!

We moved here not too long ago andy boyfriend is in desperate need of a haircut. Idk how to describe the style he goes for other than a 90s boy band style, where he usually has a middle part with it longer on top. Is there anyone you’d recommend? TIA!

I work for a family owned business and they are looking for people to work. It's a tree service and they are looking for a Climber, foreman, or just someone with experience in the field to help daily functions. Our lead foreman was in an accident and broke his back. If anyone might be interested you can dm me here and I'd be eager to help. Pay is $40-$50 an hour. Thank you in advance spokane!
