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. This directive aligns with Governor Bob Ferguson's order for state and U. S. flags at state agency facilities. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May and honors those who lost their lives while serving in the armed forces.

Residents with flags outside their homes or businesses are encouraged to participate in this tribute. The City will also implement planned closures on Memorial Day, impacting various services. Information about these closures is available on the City’s website. This recognition fosters a sense of community and respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It reflects the City's commitment to honoring veterans and promoting civic participation.
