In it are projects championed by Sen. Marcus Riccelli and Reps. Timm Ormsby and Natasha Hill, who represent the 3rd Legislative District in Spokane. The projects include significant improvements to the city’s law enforcement training facility, a new crisis relief center, new senior affordable housing, and a new short-term lodging facility in Spokane to house cancer patients from throughout eastern Washington. Significant investments for Spokane funded in the 2025 state capital budget include: $3 million to design and build a new crisis relief and sobering center next to the Spokane Regional Stabilization Center where people can receive comprehensive behavioral health services to address mental health, substance use, and the opioid crisis. $2.5 million to help the Salish School of Spokane build a new Cultural and Recreation Community Center on the Spokane River. $2.2 million for improvements to the Spokane River Centennial Trail. $1.5 million to support the St. John’s Two senior housing project on the lower South Hill. $1.5 million to help Cancer Can’t provide short-term lodging in Spokane for cancer patients from throughout Eastern Washington. $1 million for the renovation of Alexandria’s House to better serve young mothers and their children. $1 million for improvements to the Fish Lake Trail in West Spokane. $1 million for the regional Plante’s Ferry Sports Complex. $750,000 for renovation and expansion of the training facility which serves as the primary training center for SPD and other regional and state law enforcement agencies. $600,000 for museum expansion and modernization at the Museum of Arts & Culture (MAC) $500,000 for a federally qualified community health center to help create a community gathering space and an exam room for health providers to see patients. $500,000 for MultiCare’s Spokane Internal Medicine Residency to renovate its existing clinical space for the accommodation of the residency program. $480,000 for upgrades to Coeur d’Alene Park in Browne’s Addition. $100,000 for upgrades to Gonzaga’s soccer facilities as Spokane prepares to host a Team Base Camp for the FIFA World Cup in 2026. “The state’s capital budget is crucial to supporting Spokane’s quality of life and infrastructure,” Riccelli said. “I worked hard with our local community members to advocate for these projects, and I look forward to seeing these investments take shape and have a positive impact in in our community.” “While I appreciate that there are capital investments being made in our district, there continues to be a lack of equity and concern for the impact on communities of color,” Hill said. “I will continue to push our Legislature to consider more voices and investments that will uplift all communities in Spokane and across eastern Washington.” “Capital projects mean good, family wage constructions jobs here in Spokane,” Ormsby said. “It also means improvements and new places for people to heal, recreate, and learn, right here in our communities.” The capital budget is expected to be signed into law by the governor in the coming days. The 2025 legislative session is slated to adjourn tonight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Project will build a shared-use path connection from the Fish Lake Trailhead at Lindeke north along Government ending near 5th Ave and down the old railroad grade to tie into Thorpe Road.
