Flags To Be Lowered for Memorial Day

Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown announced that flags at all City facilities will be lowered to half-staff on May 26 in observance of Memorial Day. This decision follows Governor Bob Ferguson's directive for state and U. S. flags at state agency facilities. Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, serves to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives while serving in the armed forces.

The City calls upon residents and business owners to lower their flags as a sign of respect. Such actions foster community unity and remembrance of those who served.
