Good morning, Spokane Valley. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 21st of May.
BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ A new market on East 8th Avenue will soon serve as a year-round hub for local bakers, growers, and coffee roasters after Tiffany Cable closed The Blissful Whisk in March to cut costs. She will use the market's kitchen for baked goods and share space with local farmers at the former quarry—expected to generate over $14 million annually. FOX 28 Spokane
CRIME NEWS
- ➤ A 24-year-old man was sentenced to 264 days in prison after pleading guilty to a scheme in which he swapped genuine iPads with counterfeits and returned them to Target stores in Eastern Washington, costing $326,000 & resulting in a three-year supervised release and restitution order. The Spokesman-Review
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Gov. Bob Furguson signed the state budget Tuesday that did not include the $37 million for the WSU Team Health building — leaving plans for the new integrated health care training facility uncertain.
