September’s video features the North Indian Trail Neighborhood. Did you know that the neighborhood's name comes from the presence of a centuries-old trail through the area? The trail became an important arterial for the trappers and travelers who came to the Spokane area. North Indian Trail remained rural in nature through the middle of the 20th century.

Here’s some news you can use!

It is wildfire season so make sure that your property is protected. A few tips include storing firewood and other combustible materials away from your home, pruning branches, keeping lawns and grasses less than four inches tall. Sign up for a free wildfire plan on the Department of Natural Resources website. And register for AlertSpokane.org to receive important fire evacuation outages and other important notifications.

Navigating City services can be confusing. Knowing the right number to call can make a significant difference in getting the help you need, whether that be paying your water bill or an immediate public safety need. Learn more and download the Know the Number printable flyer.

Looking for something fun to do? Pig Out in the Park continues through Labor Day with fun for all ages! Construction and renovation of sport courts and added pickleball courts on recent Park projects can get your move on. And later this month will be the grand opening of the Bird Garden and Pollinator Meadow at the North Indian Trail Library. Come and check it out!
