The City Council will hold a final public hearing on Building Opportunity for Housing on July 31 at 6:00 PM regarding the proposal, codified as proposed Ordinance C36414.  Please know that every comment letter and email we have received has been forwarded to City Council.  Additionally, City Council will take verbal testimony at the hearing from any wishing to speak.  The online signup sheet for Monday night will be available at 5:00 PM on the night of the meeting. 

The City of Spokane and Spokane Arts announce the launch of the three-year pilot Asphalt Art Program that was approved last fall by the City Council to create visual interest and slow down vehicular traffic.

Artist applications are being accepted through July 31

Please join us for our annual Emerson Garfield Neighborhood potluck!

The potluck will be held at Emerson Park (116 W. Alice Ave, one block west of Monroe) on Wednesday, August 9th starting at 5 pm. Please bring your own chairs and food to share. There won’t be any grills available so bring pre-prepared food only.

The City’s Emergency Management Office monitors weather reports to determine whether the cooling spaces plan should be activated. If at least two consecutive days of 95-degree weather are predicted by the National Weather Service, the plan is activated. Spokane’s library system is the cornerstone of the cooling areas plan. It utilizes existing resources that are staffed so it’s cost-effective, has ample space, is already in neighborhoods in various parts of the city and offers water, restrooms, books interactive play areas, wi-fi access, etc.

We are looking for individuals or businesses to help fund our concert on August 26th. We need a little help to make this event free to everyone.

A $100 donation gives you:

a booth at the concert

a shout out on social media

and our gratitude for supporting our neighborhood
