Cities of Redmond and Kirkland observe 10th Anniversary of 9/11

10th Anniversary of 9/11
CITY OF REDMOND OBSERVANCE

Marking the moment with Bells, whistles, sirens at 10 a.m.

The City of Redmond encourages the observance of the 10th Anniversary of 9/ll with "a moment of remembrance."

The moment is to last for 1 minute beginning at 10 a.m. and to the maximum extent practicable ceasing all work or other activity;

and marking the moment in an appropriate manner, including by ringing bells, blowing whistles, or sounding sirens

And in recognition of the sacrifices made on this Day of remembrance and Patriots Day, all flags at City of Redmond facilities will fly at half staff.

Ten years ago the September 11 attacks changed our world.  From the devastation, healing and hope emerge.  From interfaith dialogue grows peace, hope and respect.  People of all ages, cultures, and spiritual traditions – all are welcome as we observe the 10th anniversary of 9/11.  Together we will remember, reflect, and open our hearts to the possibility of peace.
