Governor Inslee is deeply saddened by the death of Washington National Guard First Lieutenant David A. Bauders, 25, of Seattle, and directs that Washington State and United States flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff in his memory on Wednesday, May 18, 2016. He died in Iraq in a non-combat related incident.
Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business or sunset on May 18, 2016.
