Volunteers, city agencies install anti-graffiti wraps and clean West Hill Connector in Mount Vernon
Summary
The city said Target 0 wraps were installed at six locations to deter graffiti and that West Hill neighborhood volunteers worked with Parks and Recreation, Public Works and the mayor’s office to clean the West Hill Connector Trail; the city repaired a sidewalk and provided a yard waste bin, and volunteers filled two bins with vegetation.
Mount Vernon officials and neighborhood volunteers carried out multiple beautification projects this summer, including new anti‑graffiti wraps and a volunteer cleanup of the West Hill Connector Trail.
The city said the Target 0 program placed decorative wraps at six locations around Mount Vernon. The update described the wraps as beautifying the area, promoting safe driving and acting as a deterrent to graffiti by filling blank spaces with art.
Separately, volunteers from the West Hill neighborhood worked with the city’s Parks and Recreation, Public Works and the mayor’s office to clean the West Hill Connector Trail, which links Warren Street to the Second Street Viaduct. The city said it repaired a sidewalk on the route and provided a yard‑waste bin; residents removed overgrown vegetation and filled two bins.
City officials framed these efforts as examples of community partnerships that can transform neighborhoods. The city also invited residents with ideas for neighborhood projects to attend the next mayor’s coffee hour on Sept. 19 at the Skagit PUD Aqua Room.
The transcript did not provide budget details for the Target 0 wraps or the cleanup work, nor did it identify any formal council action or funding vote tied to these projects.
