Good morning, Spokane Valley. Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 1st of September.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • A city report shows that more than one-third of the 87 park restrooms need work, with 21 slated for full replacement and 18 requiring major renovations. City officials will study the issue at a board meeting this week and plan to begin updates if the Together Spokane levy passes—improving facility conditions for park visitors.  KXLY

CRIME NEWS

  • Spokane Police arrested a 31-year-old man today on north Wiscomb after a standoff began following a domestic violence call in the 7000 block, and SWAT used less lethal tactics when the suspect—who damaged a police drone while armed—emerged from the basement.  KHQ

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • PBS affiliate KSPS in Spokane faced a 1.2 million funding gap and lost support from many Canadian members after federal cuts this summer—forcing the station to reduce hours or lay off 12 of its 35 staff. The station now seeks listener donations as it takes emergency measures to cope with the shortfall.  FOX 28 Spokane

HEALTH NEWS

  • On Aug. 31, a Virginia Tech veterinary expert warned that toxic blue-green algae in stagnant lakes and ponds can kill pets within minutes by affecting their liver and nerves.
