Mayor Lisa Brown has ordered flags at all City facilities to 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 Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Cully, Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Kraus, Sergeant Donavon Scott, and Sergeant Jadalyn Good.

While serving on active duty in the United States Army, these four soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash on September 17, 2025. Mayor Brown encourages anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in this recognition to honor their memory.

Flags will remain at half-staff until the close of business or sunset.
