Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has ordered flags at all City facilities lowered to half-staff to coincide with Governor Bob Ferguson’s directive that state and U.S. flags at all state buildings be lowered on Friday, May 15, for Peace Officers Memorial Day.
“Today we remember and honor peace officers everywhere who lost their lives or were disabled in the line of duty,” said Mayor Lisa Brown. “This year’s recognition is especially important as our community honors Spokane County Sheriff Sergeant Kenneth (Ken) Salas, who was struck and killed while helping with a traffic hazard on Interstate 90.”
Mayor Brown encourages anyone with a flag outside their home or business to join us in this recognition to honor their memory.
