Tukwila police looking for volunteers to help paint over graffiti on Sunday

The Tukwila Police Department is looking for volunteers to help paint over graffiti on Sunday, June 4.

"This is last minute but any help would be greatly appreciated! We are looking for volunteers to assist with painting over graffiti, doing some general weeding/curbside beautification, and some general cleanup at the sites of some recent graffiti," said the TPD.

The meet-up will be Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at the Tukwila Justice Center Lot, the North side of 150th.

According to police, people have been painting fences, poles, and utility boxes around Tukwila.

The department has partnered with Lowe's Home Improvement for future supplies but asks people to bring painting supplies, outdoor paint, gardening supplies, or trash bags as resources are limited.

The department is also asking people to report if they have seen graffiti, whether on property or around the city, so police can it add to a list to map out a route. People can put it in the comments on the TPD's Facebook post or send them a private message.

"This is YOUR community, not theirs," said the TPD.

Afterward, the department said there will be a BBQ if enough people show up.
