Weekend Events Highlight Armistice Day Centennial

This year the Veterans Day Holiday is extraordinarily special as nations across the globe commemorate 100 years since the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. Optimistically called "the war to end all wars" WWI had dramatic impact on the nation and Washington State that is seen and felt today.  Read Governor Inslee's Proclamation here: /sites/default/files/Governor%20Inslee%27s%20Proclamation%202018%20Veterans%20Day%20and%20World%20War%20I%20Centennial.pdf
