Penix Under Pressure in Atlanta | Spokane News

Michael Penix Jr. is under the microscope as he enters his third NFL season with the Atlanta Falcons, facing mounting pressure to prove he’s the franchise quarterback.

With his future hanging in the balance — including his fifth-year option — Penix needs to show consistency and wins to justify the Falcons’ faith in him. This high-stakes moment mirrors broader NFL narratives where performance dictates longevity, making training camp and the upcoming season critical for players across the league.

Summer Cleaning Hacks for Sand & Stains | Spokane News

Summer’s messy, but don’t panic—here’s how to beat the sand, stains, and grime with smart, simple hacks: vacuum carpets and shake bedding, use a damp microfiber mop for floors, and never let sand down the shower drain. Beach towels? Hot wash with vinegar. Sunscreen stains? Try rust remover or lemon juice + salt. Pool toys? Soak in vinegar + dish soap, scrub, dry. Coolers? Bleach solution (1/3 cup per gallon) or vinegar mix—never combine. And keep your washer clean: wipe the drum, run a rinse cycle, check the filter, and deep clean gaskets every summer. Stay fresh, stay clean, and enjoy the season. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Phillies Move, Mariners Hesitate | Spokane News

After firing an assistant hitting coach and with the trade deadline looming, the Mariners’ window is closing fast. The Phillies’ bold move? It worked.

Spokane’s Heat Wave Gets a Shade Solution | Spokane News

Spokane’s neighborhoods are heating up—some hotter than others by as much as 14 degrees—thanks to a lack of shade trees, which impacts health, property values, and infrastructure. But there’s a cool solution: SpoCanopy and CoolCanopy are teaming up to plant free, mature shade trees across the city and county. SpoCanopy targets parking strips in underserved areas, while CoolCanopy plants directly in yards. Funded by federal grants, they’ve already planted over 1,000 trees this year—surpassing their 500-tree annual goal—and aim to keep planting through 2028. Residents sign up, get a free tree recommended by inspectors, and learn how to care for it through upcoming workshops starting in September. It’s a simple, impactful way to cool down your neighborhood and make it more livable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
