Edmonds School Damaged By Racist, Anti-Trump Graffiti

EDMONDS, WA - An Edmonds school was badly damaged by vulgar, racist graffiti this week. The K-8 Madrona School was hit with graffiti ranging from anti-black, pro-KKK statements to scribble disparaging President Donald Trump. The graffiti was discovered on Monday morning.

The graffiti, scribbled in red paint, largely damaged the school's roof. School employees discovered the graffiti. Edmonds detectives are looking into the incident, and are working with the school district to find out who did it.

This is at least the second incident of hateful graffiti in Edmonds so far this year. Police Chief Al Compaan issued a statement on the latest incident.

"We will not tolerate such reprehensible acts in this city and will do what we can to find those responsible and hold them accountable. I am in communication with our City’s Diversity Commission and appreciate their concerns on these matters," he said in a statement.

In April, Edmonds police responded to reports of at least seven cars and homes tagged with swastikas. That incident happened on Edmonds' Westgate neighborhood and in Esperance.

The Madrona School is located just across SR 104 from the Westgate and Esperance areas.
