Advertising & Sponsorships
Own your category on Spokane's live incident map
SpokaneWire is Spokane's real-time civic and incident utility. We sell verified placements on pages people open when something is on fire, blocked, or breaking — not feed scroll.
Right now we are closing one product: the Founding Category Pilot. Wire Local, ticker logos, and sponsored breaking alerts are not for sale until they are live and previewable.
