Did you know downtown Spokane once had its own international district? Just 3 blocks long, Trent Alley was home to a rich mix of culturesâmostly Chinese and Japanese families. In this Northwest Profiles, we revisit this forgotten neighborhood through the eyes of descendants who grew up there. watch video on watch page

Weâre sad to share that due to a recent decision by the U.S. Department of Education, federal funding for the Ready To Learn initiative has ended early. This impacts PBS stations nationwide, including KSPS PBS. As a result, weâre unable to offer our free summer camps this year. We know how much these camps have meant to local families, and weâre truly sorry we wonât get to learn and play together this summer.
For over 30 years, Ready To Learn has helped us bring trusted PBS KIDS content and community programming to children across our region. While this funding loss is significant, our commitment to early learning remains strong. We want you to know: KSPS PBS is still here for you. Our commitment to early learning hasnât changed and weâll continue providing free, quality PBS KIDS programming on TV, online, and in our community whenever possible.
