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 former first lady Rosalynn Carter.
“Rosalynn Carter served as the first lady from 1977 to 1981,” said Mayor Woodward. “Mrs. Carter was an advocate for mental health, women’s rights and the elderly.”
We encourage anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in honoring Mrs. Carter. She passed away Nov. 19, 2023. Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of interment, Wednesday, Nov. 29.
