SPOKANE, Wash. Governor Jay Inslee will visit Spokane on Tuesday to tour two new buildings and meet with local leaders to discuss housing and homelessness.
Inslee will begin his day at the Catalyst Building, Spokane’s first zero-carbon and zero-energy building. The five-story building is not only the first of its kind in the Lilac City, but also around the world.
Eastern Washington University will be the anchor tenant, using it for classes in their College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Inslee will then go on to visit the new Hope House 2.0, a shelter predominantly intended for local women seeking help.
