Re: “Seattle graffiti legislation reinstated by appeals court docket” [Feb. 2, Local News]:
Thanks very a lot for bringing this crucial concern to mild. A lot of the town is shocked to see how graffiti has been allowed to deface our streets, highways, driveways, 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 elements of Seattle now appear like previous industrial rust belt cities. What’s equally unlucky is that it’s now spreading to our model new, not but accomplished downtown waterfront. The brand new Corten metal planters have been marked a number of occasions, and so has the brand new aquarium.
It appears the town might ship a robust message by concentrating on a number of the massive repeat offenders within the first place. Certainly one of these vandals has tagged their identify dozens of occasions in and across the Mercer ramp and tunnels. Surprising how only a few vandals might accomplish that a lot harm to 1 metropolis.
