Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward has directed that all flags at City facilities be lowered to half-staff to coincide with Governor Jay Inslee's directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered in remembrance of Spokane Valley Fire Department Firefighter Dan Patterson.

"The loved ones of Firefighter Dan Patterson and his fire department colleagues are in our thoughts and prayers," said Mayor Woodward. "We will remember him for his dedication to the Spokane community. We continue to send our support to the Spokane Valley Fire Department and appreciate their continued service during this extremely difficult time."
