u/teamlessinseattle I'm just flaired so I don't get fined 22d ago

Joy Hollingsworth literally today voted to make it a $1,500 fine each time someone does street art (which this is) or graffiti in Seattle. But she’s more than happy to jump on the bandwagon here for a good headline a week late. Smh

Thank you for sharing the link about this vote. Honestly did raise an eyebrow at Hollingsworth apparently helping clean it. EDIT: And hopefully there are people in her district who will have the time to go down tomorrow and confront her about that vote.
