It’s Campaign Season. Any person who removes or defaces lawfully placed political advertising, including yard signs or billboards, without authorization, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable to the same extent as a misdemeanor that is punishable under RCW 9A.20.021. The defacement or removal of each item constitutes a separate violation, as described in RCW 29A.84.040 Political advertising, removing or defacing. Property owners control the placement of campaign signs on right of way areas immediately adjacent to their properties, except that all signs that impair traffic safety will be removed.
Donations for Nist Park. So far, grassroots donations have totaled $19,350 for playground equipment at Nist Park. The City Council has directed me to implement installation of such equipment. The city will purchase swing set equipment as described in the city’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, as well as work toward installation of an in-ground slide described in the plan. The Parks Commission received public input asking that installation be as distant as possible from residential housing, and city staff is working to achieve this objective. Thanks to all city citizens who have contributed to date.
