I'm working on a project with other neighborhood bloggers that will focus on the graffiti problem around Seattle.
I recently wrote about graffiti on the new I-5 noise walls along Harvard Avenue E. The Washington State Department of Transportation says that graffiti on the freeway side of the wall is their responsibility. They quickly painted over the Harvard Avenue tags.
If the graffiti faces the street, call the Seattle Department of Transportation. You can report graffiti to the SDOT on its Web site. The WSDOT also has a site for reporting graffiti.
How bad a problem is graffiti in Eastlake? Where else do you see graffiti in the neighborhood? Do you ever clean it up or paint it over? Does your business have a graffiti problem? What should the city do about graffiti painters? Whose responsibility should it be to clean up graffiti?
Put your responses in the comments here or e-mail me at curtmilton (at) comcast.net. Thanks for your help!
