The crowds gathered outside O'Doherty's Thursday evening for the weekly Flying Irish meetup. They're fanatical runners who meet weekly to run various routes through Spokane. When I say crowd, I mean it's a mass of people and last night, it was a mass of people in their underwear. For the first time ever, their run was themed, the Undie-Run. Some didn't adhere by the theme, but for those who did, you couldn't miss them.

U-S Representative Jay Inslee is planning a trip to Spokane announce his candidacy in the race for governor. Inslee will launch his campaign Monday in Seattle, followed by a second event in the Yakima Valley town of Wapato. His advisors say he'll make stops in Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver on Tuesday. Inslee has spent more than a decade in Congress.
