A Safe, Healthy Holiday Season

The City of Spokane is working with local community partners on a plan of activities and ideas that prioritizes new public health guidance and safely supports the community and businesses during the holiday season. Mayor Woodward proclaimed Small Business Saturday for the next three weeks.

Clean-up with a Heart
When the general manager of three locally owned SERVPRO businesses saw the vandalism done to the Lincoln Statue in downtown Spokane on Thanksgiving, he was angry. Then Jess Hockett turned his frustration into action and together with the business owners offered to clean up the red paint mess at no charge. Hockett contacted City leaders and went to work the day after Thanksgiving.

“We love the community and love being part of the community. This just felt like the right thing to do,” Hockett said.
