Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 11:43 a.m. 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 former Vice President Richard Cheney.

"Cheney was a dedicated public servant serving as White House Chief of Staff, U.S. Representative of Wyoming, United States Secretary of Defense, and Vice President," Mayor Brown said. "I encourage anyone with a flag outside of their home or business to join us in this recognition to honor his memory."

Cheney died on November 3, 2025. Flags will remain at half-staff until the day of internment.
