Today, we celebrated On Track Academy's Schoolyard Forest, a place-based learning center. The forest was designed & built by students, with help from volunteers & community partners. If both the Spokane Schools bond & Spokane Parks levy pass, we will create at least 6 more outdoor learning centers!

@spokanecity.org is committed to connecting people to the resources they need, while also creating an enforcement mechanism for those who continually choose to violate the law. I am also proposing we give officers more discretion to cite those who repeatedly create public disorder.

I met with the leadership team at Maddie’s Place to discuss further collaboration & tour the clinic. They provide medical care for substance-exposed infants, along with wraparound support for their caregivers. This year, @spokanecity.org allocated $300K in opioid settlement funds to Maddie's Place.

Over the weekend, I had a fantastic time celebrating Spokane’s vibrant artistic community at the 47th annual Spokane Arts Awards! I was so thrilled to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Ken Spiering. He’s the creative genius behind Riverfront Park’s iconic Big Red Wagon. Congratulations, Ken!

The Pavement to People Program encourages the construction of affordable housing on underdeveloped parking lots. The first project utilizing this program is in the pre-development and design stage! This is a step in the right direction, as downtown Spokane needs an additional 3,200 housing units.
