Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown 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 President Jimmy Carter.

“Today, we join the nation in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter,” said Mayor Brown. “President Carter dedicated his life to serving others; his legacy is one of unwavering character, bravery, and deep compassion."

We encourage anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in honoring President Carter. Flags will remain at half-staff until Tuesday, Jan. 28. President Biden has appointed Thursday, Jan. 9, as a National Day of Mourning in the United States.
