509 Digital Lifestyle: May 2025 Spokane in Bloom: Stories, Traditions, and New Adventures

As May unfolds, Spokane comes alive with the vibrant energy that only spring can bring. A certain magic in the longer days, blooming flowers, and community traditions remind us why this season feels so full of promise. It’s a time to get outside, explore, and celebrate everything our city offers.

In this issue of 509 Digital Lifestyle, we’re proud to shine a light on the heart of Spokane. Our cover feature introduces you to Jeffrey Dunn, a local author whose storytelling captures the spirit of the Inland Northwest. We also highlight the 2025 Spokane Lilac Festival, a tradition that continues to bring the community together year after year.

For those looking to savor the best of the city, our feature on Spokane’s Best Eats and Drinks offers can’t-miss spots for a memorable night out. We also honor a local institution with 49 years of Bloomsday, a race that has become part of Spokane’s identity. And if you’re ready for adventure, our May Shop, Stay & Play guide is filled with ideas to help you make the most of the season.

Here’s to new memories, local treasures, and all the moments that make Spokane shine in the spring.
