Reign FC Announces Full Lineup of Events at Flatstick Pub in Spokane Seattle Reign FC is set to host a series of fan-focused events at Flatstick Pub in Spokane, Washington, ahead of its three-match stand in the city. The pub, which previously served as a gathering point for Sounders FC fans during a Concacaf match, will once again become a hub for Reign supporters to celebrate the club’s presence in Spokane. The events will coincide with the team’s matches at ONE Spokane Stadium, offering fans opportunities to engage with the team, enjoy themed activities, and support local community initiatives. Each matchday will feature a pre-match social at Flatstick Pub, where fans can gather in Reign gear for a lively atmosphere before heading to the stadium. During these events, attendees will have access to $9 unlimited mini-golf, a fun activity for all ages. To support the RAVE Foundation, a $1 donation will be made for every alcoholic beverage purchased three hours before kickoff until the end of the match. This initiative aims to fund youth soccer programs in Spokane and Eastern Washington. One of the highlights of the event schedule is the Reign Rally on March 27 at 6:00 p.m. PT. The gathering will celebrate the growth of women’s soccer and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the region. Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore will host the event, which will include appearances by current players and alumni for a live fan Q&A session. Attendees can expect ticket giveaways, chances to win signed merchandise, and other exclusive prizes. Season ticket members will also enjoy a special buffet, while all participants can take part in the $9 mini-golf. The event will continue to support the RAVE Foundation, with a $1 donation for every alcoholic beverage sold during the rally.#spokane #reign_fc #flatstick_pub #rave_foundation #national_womens_soccer_league
Avista Utilities Readies for Major Windstorm as Residents Prepare for Outages Spokane, Wash. — Avista Utilities is mobilizing its full staff and contracted crews in anticipation of a significant windstorm set to impact the Inland Northwest. The utility company is following up on the aftermath of December’s storm, which left 80,000 homes without power. David Vowel, Avista’s senior communication manager, emphasized the company’s focus on preparedness, stating, “The weather is going to come through our entire service territory. So we’re trying to focus on everybody holistically at this time until we see the impacts. But crews in our outlying areas, they’re ready.” Avista has deployed crews across Eastern Washington and North Idaho and is coordinating with contract teams to ensure a rapid response. The utility is closely monitoring National Weather Service forecasts and has fully fueled its fleet of vehicles to support operations. Community members are also taking proactive steps, with local retailers reporting a surge in sales of emergency supplies. Miles Barany, co-owner of The General Store, noted, “People are coming in to get chainsaws to clear out debris that goes in there… lots of generators, lots of propane and lots of fuel. Just making sure that they’re staying warm.” The primary concern for Avista is the potential for vegetation to interfere with power lines during the storm. While the company’s infrastructure is designed to withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour, trees are not equipped to handle such conditions and are expected to come into contact with power lines. When outages occur, residents are advised to check Avista’s website for real-time outage maps and estimated restoration times.#national_weather_service #avista_utilities #spokane #miles_barany #inland_northwest
