Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has ordered flags at all City facilities to be lowered to half-staff to coincide with President Donald J. Trump’s directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered immediately to honor victims of the tragedy in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“Spokane expresses its deepest sympathies and condolences to everyone affected by the devastating tragedy in Minneapolis,” said Brown. “We join the nation in mourning those who have lost their lives in this senseless act of violence.”
Flags will remain lowered until sunset, Sunday, Aug, 31, or first thing Monday morning, Sept. 1. We encourage anyone with a flag outside their home or business to join us in honoring those who lost their lives.
