Good morning, Spokane!
Well, we've officially entered the part of the year where it gets dark before you've even decided what to make for dinner. The sun is now checking out of work around 4:30 PM, and frankly, we think it owes us all an apology.
In today’s Spokane Pulse:
30 years of the Fall Folk Festival
Holiday shopping with a view
Zags basketball at the Arena
A disco dance party
Let’s get to it.
— Laina & Lucas Wyland
All Weekend Long
🌎 Spokane Fall Folk Festival is celebrating 30 years of cultural diversity with two days of free, family-friendly fun. Head over to Spokane Community College to enjoy performances representing diverse cultural traditions from around the globe all weekend long.
