Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward has ordered flags at all City facilities to be lowered to half-staff to coincide with President Joseph R. Biden's directive that state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered immediately to honor the 500,000 Americans lost to COVID-19.

"We join the country in morning the 500,000 Americans who have lost their lives to coronavirus," Woodward said. "Tonight we take a moment of silence to honor the 571 members of our community who have died because of coronavirus and send our sympathies and condolences to their families and friends."
