May 8-For a brief moment, it seemed Spokane would have a direct link to the papacy, and more so than just the Washington State University flag that was spotted waving in the Vatican square during the conclave. Word of the new pope's ties to Chicago spread quickly, and with bated breath, some Spokane residents hoped to hear Cardinal Blase Cupich's name called. Cupich served as bishop of Spokane from 2010 to 2014, when he was tapped by Pope Francis to become Archbishop of Chicago.

May 8—While a couple days remain for interested candidates to throw their hats in the ring, it's already clear the Spokane Valley City Council will look a little different next year. And if one councilman has his way, the council may look drastically different. Councilman Rod Higgins, the longest continuous serving member of the board, said he does not plan to run for re-election. Higgins, 82, was appointed in 2013 and won the seat in an election later that year. He was re-elected in 2017 and 2021.
