Graffiti Already Popping Up at New West Richland Park

The new park is considered a landmark 'gateway' to West Richland, but somebody's been tagging it lately.

West Richland police are asking the public, and people who recreate in the area, to keep an eye out for taggers or graffiti artists, at the new Yakima River Gateway park.

To most, it's just the new Riverfront Park along the Yakima River by the West Richland Bridge into town. But police said Friday, over the last few weeks, tagging has been seen on the structures in the area.

They did not say if it was gang related. Anyone with any leads can report it anonymously by calling (509)-628-0333.
