Land, mobile homes, city center condos see largest increases in value in Spokane County

15 hours ago | spokesman.com | Nick Gibson

Vacant land and mobile homes are hot commodities, according to the latest data from the Spokane County Assessor’s Office. Property owners across the county began receiving their property assessments for 2026 taxes this week, which serve as the county’s estimates as of Jan. 1. They tend to be lower than what a property would fetch on the market, and year-over-year increases and decreases usually vary neighborhood to neighborhood.

Days after 17-year-old Amarr Murphy-Paine was shot and killed during lunchtime at Garfield High School last year, students returned to school with community members, teachers and families applauding them as they went up the steps, promising change and healing.

Spokane Indians starting pitcher Michael Prosecky wasn’t particularly sharp, nor was he overly efficient. But he did leave after five innings with a 4-0 lead. Unfortunately the bullpen wasn’t as lucky. The Hillsboro Hops scored all their runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings against three Indians relievers and the Hops won their second in a row, an 8-4 decision at Avista Stadium on Thursday.

Outside of keeping her in shape during the college rowing off-season, running had never been a big part of Amélie Tristant’s life. But now, she says, she is hooked. Earlier this year, Tristant, a Gonzaga graduate and local nurse practitioner, ran the London marathon to mark her sixth completed event in the World Marathon Majors. “It was just so – I don’t even know how to describe it,” Tristant said of running the London marathon on her 30th birthday.

2 days ago | spokesman.com | Emry Dinman

A candidate has been recommended to be hired as Spokane Transit Authority’s new CEO, but the four-person committee that made the recommendation won’t officially tell anyone – even other board members – who it is for the next few weeks. The recommendation of only a single finalist has also raised eyebrows, given the debate last summer over a transparent, competitive hiring process that appeared to end with an agreement to involve the public in vetting the final candidates.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz backs transgender kids in sports as Democrats grapple with debate over bans

WASHINGTON — Months after California Gov. Gavin Newsom told a conservative podcast it’s “deeply unfair” for transgender athletes to compete in women and girls sports, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz took the stage at the Democratic Party’s annual state convention in Newsom’s home state to let his party know he disagrees. “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected,” the 2024 vice presidential nominee said last Saturday.
