The Spokane Conservation District will host a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday, Nov. 12, for The Scale House Market and Kitchen, Spokane’s first year-round farmers market.
The event starts at 2 p.m. at the Spokane Conservation District at The Quarry, 4422 E. 8th Ave. in Spokane Valley.
Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, will be among those speaking at the ceremony. He worked with other legislators to secure more than $1 million in the state capital budgets approved by the Legislature in 2023 and 2024.
Padden, who has served the 4th Legislative District in the state Senate since 2011, is retiring from the Senate at the end of this year.
