Flags To Be Lowered for Memorial Day

Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown ordered flags at all City facilities to be lowered to half-staff on May 26 for Memorial Day, in line with Governor Bob Ferguson's directive. This observance honors the sacrifices of military personnel who died while serving the country. Memorial Day is marked on the last Monday of May, and it is a time for reflection and remembrance. Brown urged residents to join the recognition by lowering flags outside their homes and businesses. The City of Spokane will also implement planned closures for the holiday.

These closures are part of the city's observance of Memorial Day, which aims to honor those who served. Residents seeking information on specific closures can access details through the City’s website. The initiative reflects the community's commitment to honoring its fallen heroes.
