Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has ordered all flags at City facilities to remain lowered on Sunday, Dec. 7, in alignment with Governor Bob Ferguson's directive for National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

“In 1994, National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day was created to honor the Americans killed and injured as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941,” said Mayor Brown. “We encourage anyone with a flag outside their home or business to join us in honoring the Americans killed and injured during the Pearl Harbor attack.”

Flags will be at half-staff close of business on Friday, Dec. 5, and remain at half-staff until Monday morning, Dec. 8.
