## Resource

Spokane’s long-lost Riverfront Park Clocktower has silenced for over a decade — until Saturday, when hundreds gathered to hear its bells ring again for the first time since 2015. Mayor Lisa Brown joined the crowd, honoring the city’s past while looking ahead, just before the chimes rang out. Built in 1902 as part of a railroad depot, the tower was later gifted a 48-bell carillon in the 1970s — a sound that faded but never vanished from memory. Family members of the donors, some of whom were children when the bells first rang, were there to witness the revival. Now, the tower chimes hourly from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a special 30-second noon salute, and features a digital library of thousands of songs — with room to grow. It’s a nostalgic nod to Spokane’s history, blended with modern tech, designed to soundtrack the park for all seasons and all visitors.
