Get coffee – and a sneak peek at The Spokesman-Review’s ‘100 Things to Do in Spokane Before You Die’ book
Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day.
To celebrate, The Spokesman-Review is offering a sneak peek at its “100 Things to Do in Spokane Before You Die” book written by newspaper staff. The official publication date is Oct. 1.

And for even more of a sneak peek, The Spokesman Review’s Northwest Passages Book Club is hosting an event from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 3 to launch the book. It takes place in the first-floor gathering space of the Chronicle Building, 926 W. Sprague Ave.
Come early to mingle and enjoy a glass of wine at the Terra Blanca Winery Tasting Room located across the hall. The event is free but tickets are required. Get tickets at https://www.spokane7tickets.com/e/100-things-to-do-in-spokane-before-you-die/tickets.
