The long summer months really seem to drag on if you can't afford to do anything. That's why the Salvation Army is trying to keep kids busy by providing free swim passes. It gives children a chance to hit up one of Spokane's many public pools all summer long.

But tonight, the Salvation Army has already passed out all 1,000 seasonal passes. Families took advantage of the offer and swiped them up in just a week.

When interviewed by the Spokesman Review's Jonathan Brunt, he said he didn't know why he was running for Spokane School District #81 Director Position No.5. 

There's new reason tonight to adopt from SCRAPS Animal Shelter. Not only will a new cat or dog give you the love and companionship of a pet, it's a lot cheaper to bring them home.

SCRAPS is offering $25 off adoption fees every Friday this month. They hope the discount will be enough incentive to get people to adopt a new pet. The shelter is almost at full capacity. They say the only other alternatives are transferring the animals to other shelters or euthanasia.

Adopting a cat will cost you $62.70.
