What are your graffiti concerns for Ballard?

Graffiti has been an ongoing topic of discussion on MyBallard. We have written about taggers hitting the historic bell tower in Marvins Garden Park and vandals defacing the mural at Bergen Place. The old Sunset Bowl building was covered with spray paint and hate graffiti was scrawled across the sidewalk at Sunset Hill Park. Just this weekend, a forum topic was started about 10 to 15 cars being tagged in the neighborhood.

We are working with the Seattle Times and its news partners on a graffiti-related piece, so we’re putting some questions out to the masses: What are your thoughts on graffiti in Ballard? Where are the trouble spots? Do you see graffiti as a growing concern? What can be done to stop taggers? Post your thoughts in comments below or email us at tips@myballard.com.
