A firework thrown from a vehicle resulted in severe injuries to a victim, who was subsequently transported to Harborview Medical Center for necessary medical attention. This incident underscores the safety risks associated with fireworks, especially in populated areas like Spokane. In a separate community initiative, Spokane City Council District 2 members will host a “Coffee with Council” event on November 18, from 3 PM to 4:30 PM. This event aims to create an open forum for residents to engage directly with their elected officials and discuss pressing local issues. Such community gatherings are essential for fostering civic engagement and ensuring that residents' voices are heard in local governance.

The council encourages residents to attend and share their perspectives on city matters. As Spokane continues to address safety and community engagement, these efforts play a vital role in enhancing public trust and involvement. The city remains committed to creating a safer and more connected community.
