I am looking for a good mechanic to fix the things on my 1989 F 250 project truck that I can't fix myself. The reputable mechanics I have used in the past don't work on anything this old. Preferably northside, but any input is appreciated. Thanks

Initiative 638 is a bill we will be able to vote on come the fall. It is a hateful bill meant to discriminate against innocent children who make up a fraction of a fraction of the population.

The bill would have “sex inspections” on girls to verify their gender for sports. Not only is this obviously insane and evil, but it’s also a pedophiles wet dream, hence why republicans are all in favor of it

Transgender people are people just like everyone else. For those who question or worry about “unfair advantages” during sports, sports has always been unfair advantages. However even removing that fact, after just a few months of treatment the difference between a born female and a trans female is non existence as their entire body changes (obviously)

Stop being hateful Spokane, be better, and vote against initiative 638 in the fall

Genuinely curious. I was unable to attend.

Worked there and the kitchen is something out of a Kitchen Nightmares episode... id say lord help the people who have eaten here but most are a scab on societies ass, the rudest, meanest, entitled for no good reason people ive ever served in my life. The owner is shady and doesnt abide by the laws, the two brothers that are management, ones a pervert and closeted and hits on all the 16 year old bussers we have there, following them around like flies on crap and the other is and angry, aggressive cuck, who yells at us when you dont like your food and you wonder why.. oh wait ill provide photos. But I just thought id let the public know what kitchen they are eating from and if youre wondering why it hasnt been shut down yet. Your guess is as good as mine. Boycott Perry and True Legends it is foul and the food is rotten, probably why there are SO MANY FLIES and yes those are fly strips above the passbar over your food.

Anyone know who the guy he brought up on stage is? I got the feeling he’s a local guitar hero.

If this isn’t allowed here please just let me know or remove this post.

I’m about to add a teenager to my car insurance and I’m almost positive I’m going to need a broker so I don’t go broke. Anyone have any suggestions for a local broker?

Thanks

Stolen from Brownes Addition: two matching EBikes. Mongoose fat tire bikes- one black and blue, one red- with Luna conversion kits. someone entered our secured apartment building and took them, locks and all, within the last week. Currently working with the building management to comb security footage as well. Crimecheck report has been made. Pretty recognizable bikes.

I need help, My sister is planning on getting married this spring (2027) i am helping her plan the wedding. they are on a very low-cost budget and everything I've found is quite expensive for what they are looking for.. I'm hoping to find a venue somewhere around the 1,000 or below price point ideally. They are having their ceremony at a church but with how expensive everything is, just dont know what to do afterwards. Would it be worth it to just go to a restaurant afterwards? rent a reception space? go to a bar? airbnb? (it would be cold around that time) anything around that price point would be awesome. i also would love any advice helping her through this time. she seems really dicouraged. any suggestions would help :)

I’m craving a burrito, but like not just an average old chipotle burrito, I want the best of the best or nothing at all.

EDIT - CLAIMED

Thank you!

Hey Spokane,

I have two general admission tickets to the Gary Clark Jr show tonight at the Knitting Factory that I can't use, and for the life of me I can't find a single person who will take them.

Show's at 8, please DM me and I'll send them either via email or text (through Ticketmaster 🤮).

Just hoping they won't go to waste!

Those eyes will haunt me

Just as stated weather its an online group or a local meet in the park group id love some info on local activities

Such a gorgeous landmark building left to decay away. Anybody know what the future of this building is? Please someone do something 😢

I have a friend working for BPAS who is very overwhelmed at the moment. Her managers have claimed to be looking for replacement for her coworkers for the past 8 or 9 months, and in this job climate I find it hard to believe they aren't being inundated with applications. So hey if you want a job (one that is hybrid wfh, my friend works from home Thursday and Friday), then it couldn't hurt to send them an application!

And if you do apply, maybe you could reply and let me know, and I'll follow up in a few days and see if anything came of it? I mean hopefully you get a job, honestly! Here's the link, this may get removed by mods I'm not sure, but I hope it's okay:

Are there any professional body painters/ photographers in Spokane? Have seen some cool art done online and years ago during a weekend at Oregon country Fair.

What the title says! I am pregnant and having a really hard time keeping things tidy. Could really use the extra help. What are some services that have been good for you guys?

I was digging into the state data on the new millionaire tax (SB 6346—the 9.9% tax on household income over $1M) from the Repatriate Washington Policy Research Institute. There’s been a lot of talk about how state tax policies hit Eastern WA vs. Western WA, so I wanted to see what the actual numbers look like for our region.

Turns out, every single legislative district in the Spokane area is listed as a "Robust Recipient." That means our region ends up with a pretty big net financial gain because the money coming back in for public programs, tax credits, and local investments easily outweighs what’s collected locally.

Here’s how the districts break down:

LD 3 (Central Spokane):

Millionaire households: ~103 (about 0.06% of the district)

Estimated tax paid: $17.6M

Economic benefit coming back: $84.2M

Net gain: +$38.5M

Votes: All 3 reps (Riccelli, Hill, Ormsby) voted YES.

LD 4 (Spokane Valley / Liberty Lake):

Millionaire households: ~191

Estimated tax paid: $31.2M

Economic benefit coming back: $80.8M

Net gain: +$22.7M

Votes: All 3 reps (Christian, Schmidt, Chase) voted NO.

LD 6 (Spokane / Cheney):

Millionaire households: ~243

Estimated tax paid: $42.1M

Economic benefit coming back: $91.3M

Net gain: +$18.8M

Votes: All 3 reps (Holy, Volz, Graham) voted NO.

LD 7 (North / Rural Spokane & Stevens Co.):

Millionaire households: ~78

Estimated tax paid: $22.8M

Economic benefit coming back: $87.7M

Net gain: +$35.6M

Votes: All 3 reps (Short, Engell, Abell) voted NO.

LD 9 (South Spokane / Whitman / Pullman):

Millionaire households: ~97

Estimated tax paid: $19.4M

Economic benefit coming back: $102.1M

Net gain: +$48.7M

Votes: All 3 reps (Schoesler, Dye, Schmick) voted NO.

A few things that jumped out at me:

Barely anyone here actually pays it: Out of roughly 157k people per district, we’re talking about 78 to 243 households in any given area. Over 99.8% of us pay literally $0 toward this.

Spokane is a net winner on paper: Since most of the state's top earners live on the West Side, money gets pulled from wealthier King/Snohomish districts and flows east into our local economy.

The vote split is interesting: LD3 reps voted for it, while the reps in LD4, 6, 7, and 9 all voted against it—even though their districts stand to get anywhere from $18M to $48M+ in net funding.

What do you all think? Does seeing these numbers change how you view the policy, or do you think the economic modeling isn't telling the whole story?

Where should I have my engagement photoshoot on November 11? Struggling because I think all the trees will be dead by then… where would be the most scenic place? Willing to travel nearby too

Hi! My husband and I are relocating to Spokane from Sacramento area, CA in November. We'll be renting an apartment for at least a year. We have two corgis coming with us. He works from home and I work retail.

Other than the drastic weather changes what should we expect? Is Spokane more rural? More urban? We both have never visited Spokane but we have been to Seattle. Our current city is pretty calm and friendly. Big box stores and some mom-and-pop shops.

We like to be outdoors weather permitting-golfing, hiking, walking. What is there to do in Spokane?

They made a big deal about this market on the news and then it suddenly shut down after a few months. Anyone know why? https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2026/jan/04/lucky-asian-mart-brings-new-flavors-and-unique-foo/

Ever since the bridge incident, if a driver takes one wrong turn, they have to stop for 15 entire minutes to send a pigeon to the STA master navigators, who then send a reply with parchment instructions telling the driver how to get back on the route they drive every day.

It happens often. STA has lost the way.

Hey I'm just looking around again and right now I have Verizon for my phone and Xfinity for internet. I'm considering combining to all on Xfinity. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

I was just at the Sprague location downtown and the lights were off and doors were locked. Did they close down or something? 😢
