Flags To Be Lowered for Memorial Day

Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown confirmed that all City facilities will lower their flags to half-staff on Memorial Day, May 26. This action aligns with Governor Bob Ferguson’s directive for state and U.

The City encourages residents to participate by lowering flags at their homes and businesses, fostering a community-wide expression of respect. Information regarding City of Spokane closures for Memorial Day is available for residents. The observance highlights the local commitment to honoring fallen service members and the significance of Memorial Day in fostering remembrance. The directive aims to unify the community in recognizing sacrifices made by armed forces members. Such initiatives strengthen local bonds and encourage civic participation in commemorative events.
