Graffiti removed from South Lake Union streetcar
COURTNEY BLETHEN / THE SEATTLE TIMES
The Department of Transportation fixed a fence vandals cut before spray-painting the orange South Lake Union streetcar Monday. Hilario Nevarez, left, and Raul Diaz, right, of Goodbye Graffiti removed the paint today. The streetcar is expected to be back on the tracks today.
Taggers spray-painted the orange South Lake Union streetcar early Monday, after cutting a chain-link fence at the maintenance base on Fairview Avenue North.
Police said a security guard reported seeing two men inside the base, and another outside, just before 3 a.m. Monday. No arrests have been made.
It took five hours today for a pair of workers from Goodbye Graffiti to remove the stains, while the red and purple trains covered the 1.3-mile route.
