Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has directed that all flags at City facilities be lowered to half-staff to coincide with Governor Bob Ferguson’s directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered in remembrance of Former Washington Supreme Court Justice Susan Owens.

“Justice Susan Owens served our state’s highest court for 24 years,” said Mayor Brown. “We encourage anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in honoring Justice Owens.”

Justice Owens passed away on March 28, 2025. Flags will remain at half-staff until close of business or sunset on Thursday, May 8.
