Mayor Anders Ibsen issued a statement on Spokane wildfires“Statement from Tacoma Mayor Anders Ibsen on Spokane Wildfires — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 21:02:37 +0000
As I look up at our smoke-filled skies, I am reminded of the devastating reality currently facing the Spokane community. The ongoing wildfires have displaced an estimated 65,000 residents and destroyed more than 800 residential and business properties. Disasters and human misery do not respect geographic or political boundaries and, at the end of the day, we are all just people trying to help each other. Tacoma is a big-hearted city, and right now, our neighbors to the east need our strength and compassion. We must do what we can to support Spokane during this crisis. I have heard from many of you asking how you can help. To ensure your contributions are as efficient and effective as possible, I encourage donating directly through the City of Spokane’s emergency relief fund. As the City of Spokane has explained in its news release , the H.O.M.E. Starts Here fund traditionally supports individuals experiencing homelessness, but has been established with flexibility to respond to urgent needs during time of crisis. Donations made through the fund will be directed to wildfire relief efforts. According to the City of Spokane, no administrative fees will be applied as part of the dispersal of these funds, and everything will stay 100% local with all funds and resources deployed directly to the Spokane community. 100% of the money you give goes direct
