Sunday, October 23, 2011
King County Executive Dow Constantine today ordered flags at King County buildings to be lowered to half-staff on Saturday, October 22, in memory of State Senator Scott White, who passed away unexpectedly on Friday.
Prior to his election to the state Legislature, Sen. White served as chief of staff to the Metropolitan King County Council.
Flags at King County buildings will remain at half-staff until the memorial for Sen. White is concluded. Details on services are pending.
King County Councilmember Bob Ferguson issued a statement regarding the passing of Senator Scott White:
“I am deeply saddened by the shocking news that Senator Scott White has passed away. He was a steadfast and hardworking advocate for our shared constituents in the 46th District as he fought for education, the environment and transit. His family, especially his wife and young children, are in my thoughts and prayers.”
King County Executive Dow Constantine said that he was stunned to hear of Sen. White's death, calling him a "rising star in the Legislature, and a champion for his district and for King County."
