Spokane Mayor David Condon has ordered flags at all city facilities to remain lowered at half-staff to coincide with Gov. Jay Inslee’s directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities remain lowered on Monday, Dec. 30, in remembrance of Pierce County Deputy Cooper Dyson.

Deputy Dyson died in the line of duty when his patrol car crashed while responding to a call for back up from fellow deputies at an urgent domestic violence call. Mayor Condon encourages anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in this recognition to honor Deputy Dyson’s memory.

There will be a memorial service on Monday, Dec. 30, 1 p.m. at the Tacoma Dome.
