Since her run, three Black women have run for City Council with two winning election: Roberta Greene, Betsy Wilkerson, and Lacrecia “Lu” Hill. Dare to be the first, and pave the way for many after you! #SpokaneHistory #Spokane #WAElex #ElectBlackWomen #UpliftBlackWomen

Once upon a time, before Kendall Yards, there was a bridge that traveled above the river and the Monroe Street Bridge. Do you know what it was called? #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #SpokaneHistory 📷: NW Room Digital Archive

Happy Establishment Day! Spokane became a city on Nov 29, 1881, though it was originally Spokan Falls, not becoming “Spokane” until 1891. #Spokanehistory #SpokaneDoesntSuck #Spokane

#ThrowbackThursday: In the early days of Holmes Elementary, graduating 8th graders wrote a class “will” in The Holmes Clarion. The 1923 class (pictured) left behind “wonderful school spirit, extraordinary dramatic ability, marked genius & unusual records.” #SpokaneHistory

The 1909 #LooffCarrousel reopens today in a brand new building! It was originally housed at Natatorium Park until 1967. After #Expo'74 the carrousel was re-housed in this building that had been a beer tent for the Expo. @SpoRiverfrontPk @SpokaneParks @SpokaneCity #spokanehistory

Do you know where this is #SpokaneValley? Our founders never let anything go to waste. When digging irrigation ditches in 1908, they sold the rocks they found for building materials. That's why you see rock fences, homes, etc. in the Spokane Valley. #Spokane #SpokaneHistory

#TBT: We found this letter written in 1934 by Recreation Director S. G. Witter. The letter itself is pretty mundane but if you look at the names of the Park Board and staff members you might recognize a few of them! #SpokaneHistory
