As temperatures climb, Seattle is experiencing a significant increase in graffiti incidents, with reports indicating more than 12,000 cases so far this year. This surge comes ahead of what is typically the worst time of year for graffiti in the city.

Data analysis by KOMO reveals that from January to April 2025, the number of graffiti cases is nearly equal to the combined totals of the same period in 2023 and 2024. According to the city's graffiti dashboard, 12,231 cases of graffiti have been reported so far in 2025. That compares to 6,727 cases during the corresponding time in 2023 and 7,622 cases during the same time period in 2024.
