8th Ave) with a grand opening from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an indoor space open until 4 p.m.; the market will feature vendor stalls, a stage for live music, and a teaching kitchen. Market Director Brittany Tyler said the hub will offer local farmers and entrepreneurs a permanent space to sell goods and promote sustainable shopping.

Spokane police arrested a man on a burglary charge after a witness reported a door being kicked in on May 30—officers used a K9 unit and security footage to secure the arrest, and they are still searching for a second suspect.

The government dismissed the fraud case against Dr. Werschler and his businesses on May 30 after forensic tests cleared him of wrongdoings connected to a COVID loan fund scheme where bookkeeper Carol Casilla embezzled over $1 million — Casilla pleaded guilty to wire fraud and received a two-year sentence — with a $1.4 million civil settlement reached to resolve further claims.
