Run it up the flagpole ...

January 28, 2009

When the Secretary of State offered U.S. flags that had flown over the state Capitol in honor of Barack Obama's inauguration as the 44th President of the United States, over 200 were snatched up. That was easily a record for a one-week period for special occasion flag offerings. The flags, $14 if purchased at the Secretary's front desk in Oly and $17.25 if shipped by mail, are sold at discount.

(The office also sells Washington state flags and is asking legislative authority to accept donations so the office can send donate Washington flags to troops overseas.)
