~ As temperatures continue to rise in the region, the City of Spokane is reminding its residents that cooling resources are available to them. According to Communications Director Erin Hut, the Spokane Municipal Code requires the activation of cooling spaces when the National Weather Service predicts temperatures of 95 degrees or higher for at least two consecutive days.

To provide relief from the heat, people can visit any of the Spokane Public Library locations. These include Central, Shadle Park, Liberty Park, Hillyard, South Hill Library, and Indian Trail. The libraries will be open during their regular hours and select locations will have extended hours over the weekend. On Saturday, Liberty Park, Indian Trail, and South Hill libraries will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., while on Sunday, Liberty Park and Central libraries will have extended hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For those who rely on public transportation, Spokane Transit Authority (STA) is offering fare exceptions for riders traveling to and from a cooling space when temperatures reach 95 degrees or above. If a passenger boards a bus without fare payment and indicates that they are heading to a cooling area, STA will allow them to ride for free. This policy also applies for same-day return trips during evening hours even after temperatures drop below 95 degrees. Most Spokane Transit routes have stops near cooling areas for easy access.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these cooling resources as high temperatures can pose health risks. For more information on cooling spaces and public transportation options during extreme heat conditions, contact Erin Hut at 509-625-6740.
