Graffiti cleanup in Meadowbrook neighborhood will be costly

Seattle city officials are crying foul over last weekend's graffiti vandalism of Meadowbrook Pond, which they say will be expensive to clean up and is indicative of a rising number of such attacks.

More than 50 graffiti "tags" were painted on and around the rock wall sculpture and covered shelter at the pond, near the Meadowbrook Community Center at Northeast 105th Street and 35th Avenue Northeast.
