Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 1st of June.
Good morning, Spokane Valley.
Spokane County opened its first year-round farmers market at Scale House Market on 4422 East 8th Avenue on Saturday to let local vendors sell products all year instead of shutting down in winter.
The market also includes a learning kitchen for cooking classes and expects nearly 250,000 visitors annually—creating fresh opportunities for local growers.
Spokane's Upper South Hill is preparing for increased traffic as Home Depot is set to open on June 12 at the former Shopko building on 44th and Regal — a building that stood empty for six years.
The new store will span over 136,000 square feet, employ over 200 people, and host a community preview on June 11.
Spokane police arrested two suspects after a drive-by shooting early Saturday near Liberty Avenue and Haven Street—one suspect was wanted on multiple warrants.
Saturday afternoon, Mt. Spokane’s Kade Brownell won the 3A state 3,200 meters at Mount Tahoma High School by running 9 minutes, 10.12 seconds—he finished ahead of Vincent Recupero and teammate Parker Westermann and earned the state title that had long eluded him.
His win helped his team tie for second place with Lincoln.
Spokane Zephyr ended their inaugural season with a 1-1 tie against Fort Lauderdale at ONE Spokane Stadium on Saturday, and despite a strong second-half push including nine shots on target, Dallas’s 2-0 win over Carolina meant the team was eliminated from postseason play due to head-to-head tiebreakers.
