Spokane City is actively promoting community involvement in various celebrations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, scheduled across the region. Events include the MLK Celebration at Spokane Falls Community College featuring Spokane NAACP President Lisa Gardner and a commemoration service at Holy Temple Church. Residents can also participate in a rally and march, alongside a resource fair and teach-in at the Spokane Convention Center.

The city highlights that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a national day of service, urging residents to sign up for volunteer opportunities through Spokane's volunteer website. Furthermore, the city reminds residents about the normal solid waste collection schedule on this holiday. Spokane City Hall, the Municipal Court, and public library branches will be closed to honor the day. This initiative reflects Spokane’s dedication to fostering community spirit and honoring civil rights.

The communication also serves to keep residents informed about operational changes during the holiday.
