SPOKANE, Wash. Spokane is one week into Phase 2 of Governor Inslee’s Healthy Washington plan. This allows restaurants and bars to serve people indoors at 25% capacity. However, not all restaurants have decided to take advantage of this.
Boots Bakery closed during both shutdowns since March. Each time it reopened, owner Alison Collins decided to keep indoor dining closed.
“We get probably about 20 to 30 calls a day asking if we’re opening in for dine in,” Collins said. “It’s obviously disappointing to people when we say no and explaining that we just don’t have the space to make it happen. ”

Five months after a wildfire destroyed the towns of Malden and Pine City, President Joe Biden approved federal aid for the those communities and other areas of Eastern Washington that were burned by fires last year.
More than 85% of the buildings in Malden and Pine City, both in Whitman County, burned to the ground in the Babb Road Fire in September 2020. The Department of Natural Resources also donated a surplus fire engine to Malden in December after the town’s fire station and its own fire engine was destroyed in the fire.
