509 Digital Lifestyle — Flavor, Roots & End-of-Summer Revelry

August in Spokane is all about flavor—in the food we share, the traditions we pass down, and the places that feel like home. This month, we highlight a culinary legacy nearly 30 years strong, featuring the neighborhood restaurants created by John Grollmus and Brad Fosseen—local spots that continue to serve good food and foster community spirit across the Inland Northwest.

Our Arts & Entertainment section dives into Pig Out in the Park, Spokane’s beloved five-day festival of music and eats. And our seasonal blurbs are your guide to soaking up summer with everything from hiking trails to frozen treats. You’ll also find inspiration in our feature on the Spokane Edible Tree Project, where local volunteers are turning backyard abundance into community impact.

Whether you’re exploring downtown, enjoying a concert at Riverfront, or discovering a new way to give back, this issue celebrates the people and places that make Spokane shine—one delicious bite, one shared story, one summer moment at a time.
