A new website emerged today that questions the safety of the City of Spokane and the staffing levels of the Spokane Police Department. Fliers advertising SpokaneSucks.com appeared Thursday morning throughout the city. The website is linked to Jared Bartlett, 28, of Post Falls. Bartlett, a former Gonzaga University student, has not yet responded to requests from The Spokesman-Review for comment. The website's creator paid extra money to keep his or her name off registration information, but Bartlett's name, age and town of residence are included in the site's coding. Bartlett is a poker player who's active on poker websites. He posted on a site's “off topic” discussion board Tuesday and asked “if it is possible to buy a domain name and not have other people know you own it?”/Meghann Cuniff, Sirens & Gavels. More here.
Question: Do you think Spokane sucks?
