Re: “Seattle’s graffiti regulation reinstated by Court docket of Appeals” [Feb. 2, Local News]:
Thanks a lot for bringing this essential challenge to mild. A lot of town is in shock to see how graffiti has been allowed to desecrate our streets, highways, onramps, tunnels and personal property over the previous a number of years. It ought to by no means have been tolerated to this stage, and it’s fairly unlucky that many components of Seattle now appear to be previous industrial rust-belt cities. What’s equally unlucky is that it’s now spreading to our brand-new, yet-to-be accomplished downtown waterfront. The brand new Corten metal planters have been tagged a number of occasions, as has the brand new aquarium.
It could appear that town may ship a robust message by initially concentrating on a few of the main repeat offenders. One in every of these vandals has tagged their title dozens of occasions in and across the Mercer onramp and tunnels. Stunning how only a few vandals may accomplish that a lot harm to at least one metropolis.
