Flag at the Space Needle honors Officer Brenton

November 5th, 2009 · 8 Comments

You may have noticed large flag flying atop the Space Needle today. At 10:00 am this morning, Thursday, November 5th, 2009, the Seattle Police Honor Guard raised a 20 x 30 foot flag at the top of the Needle to honor the late Officer Timothy Brenton, who was killed last week, on Halloween night. The flag, which was donated by the Space Needle Corporation, will remain at its post through the evening tomorrow, Friday, October 6. After it is taken down, it will be given to Brenton’s family.

The flag is solid white and has a large Seattle Police Badge with a black band through the middle. To the right, it displays the Seattle Police emblem, and under this is Officer Brenton’s serial number (#6699).

There will be a public memorial procession and service for Officer Brenton tomorrow at the Key Area from 9 a.m. to noon. Read the Seattle Police Department’s biography of Officer Brenton here.
