Writing on the wall: In North Bend, growth of tagging,gang symbols is a troubling sign
On the stairwell by the North Bend Park and Ride, a tagger has struck, and pretty recently, too.
The nickname, sprayed in black, spiky letters, has resisted one clean-up attempt, leaving the graffiti still legible.
“I’m reading M-A-V-I-K: Mavik,” says North Bend Police Chief Mark Toner, driving around the city on a graffiti survey.
Most commuters who drive by this place, on West North Bend Way, won’t notice the foot-tall letters, which are hidden under the lip of the roadway, out of sight.
“You could drive by this thing all day long, and you’d never see it,” the police chief said.

Letters | Day of Silence should honor a different group: The veterans
Last year, our United States Congress passed a law making it legal for gay and lesbian individuals to serve openly in the United States Armed Forces.
Also, a couple of months ago, the Washington State Legislature passed a law making same-sex marriages legal here in Washington State.
Maybe our state legislature should pass a new law requiring that these annual Day of Silence events in our public high schools be used to “honor and pay tribute to our nation’s wounded warriors”, many of whom often spend the remainder of their lives suffering in silence due to the terrible wounds they sustained while serving all of us?
