This morning, 2,977 American flags were planted in front of @BothellHigh, one for each life lost on 9/11/01. Our officers, alongside @BothellFire, were honored to take part in this annual tradition in remembering and honoring those lost 25 years ago. #NeverForget

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and all those forever changed that day. We honor the first responders and everyday people who ran toward danger to help others. 25 years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
