Flags at Half-Staff Honoring Victims of Political Violence
Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown ordered flags at all City facilities to be lowered to half-staff in honor of victims of political violence, aligning with Governor Bob Ferguson's directive. This tribute includes the memory of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were assassinated, along with others affected by such violence. Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on Sunday, September 14.
