The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the official display of flags inside and outside of City facilities. It is the specific intent of the City Council of the City of Lakewood to follow the United States Flag Code and Washington State law in its flag displays on City property. Flag display in any City facility or on City property constitutes government speech. Raising flags is an expression of government sentiment and does not open up any City facility or property as a forum for public or limited public participation. [Ord. 800 § 1 (Exh. A), 2024.]
