Good morning, Spokane Valley. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 10th of July.
BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ Brick West Brewing opened just before the pandemic and changed downtown's look — but now it faces foreclosure after co-owner Jordan Tampien and partners missed their payments to Numerica Credit Union. Tampien said he plans to sell the building and lease it back by the end of July to keep the brew pub running. The Spokesman-Review
- ➤ STCU announced on Wednesday that its board unanimously named longtime employee Lindsey Myhre as president and CEO, making her the first woman to lead the credit union. She served as interim CEO after former leader Ezra Eckhardt left and will now guide an institution with 300,000 members, 1,050 employees and $6.3 billion in assets — and it is set to open its 50th branch soon.
