These signs are foolish and wasteful. Corporate and anti-art. Mayor Bruce Harrell is so worried about graffiti, but if he put more money into support for the arts and giant graphic installations which express the enthusiasm of our city instead of this bullshit, we would have some really interesting environments. #DontMakeMyCityAThemePark #BruceHarrellistheEricAdamsof Seattle Seattle Times' article, "Seattle Council signs off on towering digital billboards" https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-council-signs-off-on-towering-digital-billboards/?utm_source=email&utm;_medium=email&utm;_campaign=article_inset_1.1
