Schools and banks will be closed today in honor of President’s Day. Many, but not all, government offices will close. Residents throughout the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene area can expect regular garbage pickup. The city of Spokane considers today a parking meter holiday. Here is a rundown of services on President’s Day:

Coeur d’Alene City Hall – closed.
Post Falls City Hall – closed.
Kootenai County offices – closed.
Idaho state offices – closed.
Postal service – closed, no delivery.
Federal government – closed.

Question: Should we jettison Presidents Day and return to a federal birthday holiday for either Lincoln (Feb. 12) or Washington (Feb. 22) or both?
