IRKV TR TODAY MARKS THE END OF
AN ERA IN SEATTLE.
IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
TO SAFECO.. AND HELLO TO
T-MOBILE PARK.
FROM MAJOR ROAD
DEVELOPMENTS TO NEW
SERVICE ANIMAL LAWS.
THE CITY OF SPOKANE HAS
MADE A LOT OF CHANGES
THE PAST
YEAR.
WE'LL BREAK DOWN SOME OF
THE BIG CHANGES-- AND
SOME ISSUES
THE CITY IS STILL
WORKING ON AS WE SETTLE
INTO 20-19.
INTO 20-19. GOOD MORNING..
GOOD MORNING.. GOOD MORNING.. I'M BRITTANY BAILEY.

GOOD MORNING!
STARTING
STARTING TODAY IN IDAHO... ALL FIRST TIME D-U-I
OFFENDERS WILL NOW BE
REQUIRED TO
INSTALL AN INTERLOCK
DEVICE IN THEIR
VEHICLES.
BEFORE... THOSE DEVICES
WERE ONLY REQUIRED FOR
REPEAT
OFFENDERS.
REPEAT OFFENDERS. ACCORDING TO THE
TRIPLE-A OF IDAHO...
FOR MOST FIRST- TIME
D-U-I OFFENDERS, A FIRST
OFFENSE MAY
BE THEIR FIRST TIME
GETTING CAUGHT.
BUT IT IS USUALLY NOT
THEIR FIRST TIME EVER
DRIVING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE.
THE NEW PENALTY WAS
BACKED BY THE TRIPLE-A,
MOTHERS AGAINST
DRUNK DRIVING, AND IDAHO
STATE LAWMAKERS.
STATE LAWMAKERS. WE SAW ONE OF THE
SLOWEST STARTS TO THE WASHINGTON STATE
SNOWPACK IN 30 YEARS.
BUT... THE STATE IS
FINALLY BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL SNOW LEVELS.
STATEWIDE MOUNTAIN
SNOWPACK REACHED 94
PERCENT OF NORMAL,
ACCORDING TO THE
WASHINGTON STATE
DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY.
THAT IS A BIG
IMPROVEMENT SINCE
EARLIER THIS MONTH WHEN
WASHINGTON SAT AT JUST
35 PERCENT OF NORMAL.
MOST PARTS OF THE STATE
EXPERIENCED NEAR-NORMAL
TO
ABOVE-NORMAL
TO ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
PRECIPITATION THIS FALL.
BUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE CLIMATE
PREDICTION
CENTER PREDICTED A 90
PERCENT CHANCE OF AN EL
NIÑO WINTER THIS
YEAR.
THAT MEANS A GREATER
CHANCE OF WARMER AND
DRIER CONDITIONS.
DRIER CONDITIONS. NOW THAT WE'VE WRAPPED
UP 2018... WE WANTED TO LOOK BACK AT THE
CITY OF SPOKANE'S
BIGGEST
ACCOMPLISHMENTS... AND
THE AREAS
STILL IN NEED OF WORK.
KREM 2'S AMANDA ROLEY
HAS A BREAKDOWN FOR US.
AMANDA
AMANDA ROLEY: "THE CITY OF SPOKANE'S LIST OF HIGH AND LOWS
THIS YEAR IS PRETTY
LONG.....SO WE'LL TAKE A
LOOK AT THE ONES THAT
STOOD OUT IN 2018.
STARTING ON LIGHTER
NOTE, WE SAW QUITE I
OF NEW THINGS TS
YEAR.
AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF
CONSTRUCTION, MONROE
STREET
REOPENED. IT WAS
FINISHED ABOUT SIX WEEKS
AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!
AND THIS MONTH, THE
U-DISTRICT BRIDGE OPENED
TO PEDESTRIANS.
NOW, RIVERFRONT PARK
CONTINUES TO TRANSFORM.
AND THOSE
TRANSFORMATIONS INCLUDED
THE LOOFF CAROUSEL. IT
OPENED
OPENED IT'S NEW GLASS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC IN THE SPRING."
THE CITY ALSO LAUNCHED
ITS NEW SNOW REMOVAL
PLAN. RESIDENTS
MUST NOW PARK ON THE ODD
SIDE OF THE STREET. AND
FULL CITY PLOWS
ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE
ABOUT THREE DAYS TO
COMPLETE.
NOW LET'S LOOK AT CITY
ORDNANCES.
IN LATE OCTOBER, THE
SPOKANE CITY COUNCIL
PASSED AN ORDINANCE
DECLARING CERTAIN CITY
PROPERTIES OFF-LIMITS TO
IMMIGRATION OFFICERS.
COUNCIL MEMBERS HOPED
THIS WOULD END
THE PRACTICE OF BORDER
PATROL AGENTS ASKING BUS
RIDERS ABOUT
THEIR CITIZENSHIP
STATUS. AGENTS ARE STILL
DOING THESE SEARCHES.
AND NOW SOME COUNCIL
MEMBERS ARE CONSIDERING
TAKING THE ISSUE
TO COURT.
THE CITY ALSO
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
ITS
ITS SIT
ITS SIT AND LIE ORDINANCE. ACTIVISTS WANTED TO SEE IT
COMPLETELY
ABOLISHED AND PROTT
BENPM
OUTSIDE CITY HALL
POLICE EVENTU CA TC
TOLD
PEOPLE THEY HAD TO
LEAVE.
COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO
PASSED A LAW CRACKING
DOWN ON PEOPLE
PASSING OFF THEIR PETS
AS SERVICE ANIMALS. IT
ALIGNS WITH THE LAW
PASSED BY WASHINGTON
STATE LAST YEAR.
THE SPOKANE POLICE
DEPARTMENT WILL NO
LONGER BE
ABLE TO SELL THE GUNS IT
CONFISCATES. THE NEW LAW
REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT
TO NOW DESTROY GUNS
INSTEAD OF
AUCTIONING THEM.
THE DEPARTMENT ALSO
RELEASED THIS YEAR'S
CRIME RATES. TURNS O
PROPERTY
PROPERTY CRIME IN FELL ACROSS ALMOST ALL CATEGORIES IN 2018
COMPARED TO 2017, BUT
VIOLENT IWU
NEARLY 14 PERCENT.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BEN
STUCKART SENT ME A
STATEMENT
LOOKING BACK ON THE
YEAR. HE SAYS IT WAS
EXCITING TO SEE THE
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OPEN
AND MONROE'S NEW LOOK.
HE ADDS IN 2019, "WE

THE SEATTLE

THE CHANGE COMES AFTER
THE TEAM SIGNED A NAMING
