Good morning, Spokane!

It's Easter weekend, which means the two biggest hunts in town are on: 20,000 eggs hiding at Riverfront Park and a parking spot within walking distance of Grandma's house. The forecast is going from a chance of snow today to 61 and sunny by Sunday, because spring in Spokane isn't a season, it's an adventure.

In today's Spokane Pulse:

Let's get to it.

You could spend hours comparing insurance plans online, reading fine print, and still not be sure you picked the right one. Or you could call McKinley Romero. He compares 120 plans from 14 companies, walks you through what actually matters, and helps you enroll in the coverage that fits. All rates are state-regulated, so no one's rates are lower.

The difference is having someone who finds the best plan.
