Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward has directed that all flags at City facilities be lowered to half-staff in remembrance of former Spokane Mayor Jack Geraghty.

“Mayor Geraghty made a tremendous impact during his service to the City and his continued commitment to Spokane long after he left office,” said Mayor Woodward. “His reputation as a passionate community ambassador is his lasting legacy. We are sadden by his passing and celebrate his many gifts to Spokane.”

Flags will be at half-staff at City Hall including the Irish flag. We encourage anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in honoring Mayor Geraghty.
