Early Bird Special — 6/16/05
Issue: Spokane's crime stats top state's largest cities: 97 crimes per 1000 population/Jonathan Brunt, SR.
DFO: There are many reasons that my family doesn't go to Spokane as much as it used to do. Improved shopping and restaurants in North Idaho. You don't have to drive as far. And Spokane's crime is getting outta hand. We a young man is murdered in broad daylight near a high school and Starbucks, you know the city should be treated with care.
Question (for non-Spokane residents): Are you concerned enough by crime in Spokane to stay away?
