Missing Teen Alert, Golf Season Opens, and Mild Weather Ahead in Spokane

Emergency Alert for Missing Teen

Spokane County residents were asked to stay alert after an emergency notification was issued early March 8 regarding a missing 15-year-old girl last seen in Airway Heights. Police say the teen is considered vulnerable and may be traveling by bike. Authorities urged anyone who sees her or has information about her whereabouts to call 9-1-1 immediately.

The alert covered Spokane County and remained active for several hours as officers and community members worked to locate her. Community support has been strong, with neighbors sharing details across social media and neighborhood networks.

City Golf Courses Ready for the Season

Signs of spring are returning to Spokane as Indian Canyon Golf Course prepares to open March 12, becoming the final city course to welcome players for the 2026 season. The opening follows earlier launches at Downriver, The Creek at Qualchan, and Esmeralda.

City officials say staggered openings allow maintenance crews to ensure course conditions are ready after winter weather. With longer daylight hours and improving temperatures, local golfers are expected to return in full swing over the coming weeks.

Tuesday Forecast: Cool but Improving

As of Tuesday, March 10, Spokane Valley is seeing daytime highs near 45 degrees with light winds and a chance of scattered precipitation. Overnight lows are expected to dip into the low 30s.

While the region is not facing major weather disruptions, cooler mornings continue to remind residents that winter is not fully behind us. Gradual warming is anticipated as the week progresses.
