Good morning, Spokane!

On this day in 1963, the Hula Hoop was officially patented. It remains the only invention capable of making us feel incredibly athletic and completely uncoordinated within the span of four seconds. We’re still dizzy from our last attempt.

In today’s Spokane Pulse:

  • Regional cheer championship

  • TSA-free flights to Seattle

  • A Pink Floyd tribute

  • And much more!

Let’s get to it.
