From "Lynnwood Police arrest nine youths in connection with graffiti," in the Seattle Times:
Lynnwood Police have been cracking down on an epidemic of graffiti "tagging" throughout the city and announced Friday that they have arrested nine youths since mid-December... The youths, who range in age from 10 to 16, are members of two tagging crews responsible for a portion of the city's graffiti, said Brooks. The boys live in various South Snohomish County communities, he said, and their tagging activities were not limited to Lynnwood...
Tagging crews are not gangs, Brooks said, and their criminal activities generally are limited to graffiti. They typically mark property with their nickname, plus the initials of their crew. "Most of the taggers do it for the purpose of fame and recognition," he said.
