Washington Half-Staff Notice for November 9: State Agency Facilities

Washington's governor issued a November 6, 2026 directive honoring Spokane County Deputy Sheriffs Mason Acheson and Parker Perry with flags lowered to half-staff on Monday, November 9.

Where the directive applies

The direction covers United States and Washington State flags at all state agency facilities. Other government entities, individuals and businesses are encouraged to participate; the bulletin does not make their participation mandatory.

When the lowering ends

The official bulletin says flags should remain lowered until close of business on November 9. It does not specify a clock time or substitute sunset for that endpoint. Facilities should follow their applicable local operating schedule rather than an invented statewide time.

This is an existing November 6 directive for the November 9 observance, not an order newly issued today. Read the official governor's bulletin for the source and check it for subsequent changes.

Flag resources

For display planning, FORTISVEX offers United States flags and Washington State flags. Read additional notices and flag guidance on the FORTISVEX blog; the official issuing authority remains the source for the scope and timing of each directive.
