Mayor Lisa Brown

I have taken seriously the input from both public health advocates and law enforcement, and they are seeing real harm in our community. This is commonsense legislation that will protect people and keep our community safe.

The City of Spokane is proud to be home to one of the nation's largest urban native populations representing hundreds of Indigenous tribes and bands from across the continent. Happy Native American Heritage Month!

Happy Thanksgiving from the City of Spokane! We hope you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.

This emergency declaration was critical in helping @spokanecity.org expand emergency shelter capacity and provide assistance to those who may be on the brink of becoming homeless. I am deeply grateful to the faith communities and non-profits who are helping us make the most of our scarce resources.

I am appreciative of the City Council for passing a mid-biennium budget modification that is both balanced and responsible. I would also like to thank my Cabinet and all of those who have engaged in this process and worked toward a responsible outcome for the people we serve.

The City of Spokane offers its deepest condolences to the family members and loved ones mourning after this fatal house fire. my.spokanecity.org/news/stateme...

Today, on Veterans Day, we would like to express our gratitude to the over 45,000 veterans living in Spokane County. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. We are proud to illuminate the Gesa Pavilion with green lights in your honor! 💚

The ongoing federal government shutdown continues to harm the people of Spokane. The deal currently on the table does not solve the problem, it only extends it, and Spokanites deserve better than short-term fixes.

These outreach teams are an essential piece of our plan. This is a great example of the partnership needed to make sustainable change. The key to long-term success will be continually improving coordination & communication between providers, social workers, medical professionals, & law enforcement.

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!

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! Today and every day, we express our respect and gratitude for the presence and contributions of Indigenous communities. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Today we celebrated Spokane's own Bing Crosby with the dedication of Bing Crosby Way! Thank you to the Bing Crosby Advocates for helping us honor one of our city's finest.

@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.

Happy first day Fire Chief Williams, and happy retirement to former Chief Julie O'Berg!
