Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward has directed that all flags at City facilities be lowered to half-staff to coincide with President Joseph R. Biden’s directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered in remembrance of Senator Dianne Feinstein.

“Senator Feinstein was a trailblazer for women in politics,” said Mayor Woodward. “She had a remarkable run as a leader and public servant and cut a path for many to follow.”

We encourage anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in honoring Senator Feinstein. Senator Feinstein passed away Sept. 28, 2023. Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of interment.
