Road to Steptoe Butte closed?

Hey fellow Washingtonians! Anyone know if Hume Rd is actually closed? It's the road that leads you to the road for Steptoe Butte! I know they redid the road up to the top, but Google maps says Hume Rd is closed until August. Can anyone confirm?

Soap Lake mystery man

Last week, we drove down to Soap Lake on highway 17. Right before entering the town, i noticed a red Honda sedan tucked in the rock wall with a guy just chillin' in the driver's seat. After exploring the town and getting gas, we headed back north on the same route. As we approached the area where the Honda was parked, there was a guy in the middle of the road leaning to the side like he was looking for a specific car. I slammed on my brakes and he ran to his car. Later, i noticed he was trying to catch up to us at a high rate of speed but then backed off and gave space, though he followed us for a few miles. Eventually, he turned off but that shit was weird.

Anyone else have this odd experience?

People’s Town Hall Candidate List Announced - Public Question Submissions Now Open

We're excited to announce the participating candidates for the People's Town Hall on Sunday, July 12 at Spokane Central Library.

The People's Town Hall is a nonpartisan community candidate forum bringing together candidates, community organizations, local media, and residents to discuss issues affecting our region and help voters make informed decisions ahead of the election.

One of the goals of this event is to make sure the discussion reflects the concerns of the community, and public question submissions are now open.

Questions may be submitted by anyone and can be directed toward:

• All candidates
• Congressional candidates
• Legislative candidates
• Specific candidates

Questions submitted by community organizations and members of the public will both be considered as we build the program. Similar questions may be combined, and not every submission will be asked, but every submission helps shape the discussion.

Questions can be submitted through the form below, through the People's Town Hall event listing at SpokanePeoplesCalendar.com, or through the "Help Shape the People's Town Hall - Submit a Question" link at the top of the calendar.

Question Submission Form:

The event will feature:
• Fourteen participating candidates from congressional and legislative races
• Questions sourced from community organizations and the public
• Live music by When She Dreams
• A live broadcast by KYRS Community Radio
• Food provided by Lilac Mutual Aid
• ASL interpretation
• Childcare

Event Details
Sunday, July 12
Spokane Central Library

Doors Open: 12:00 PM
Live Music: 12:00 PM
Program Begins: 12:30 PM

Hosted by Spokane People's Calendar and other local organizations in partnership with Spokane Public Library and KYRS Community Radio.

We're committed to making the event as welcoming and accessible as possible. Additional information about food, accessibility, childcare, and other event details will be announced soon.

Whether you're interested in housing, healthcare, wages, democracy, public services, transportation, climate, education, or another issue entirely, we'd love to hear what questions you'd like candidates to address.

We hope you'll join us, submit a question, and help shape the conversation.
