Community police officer Scott McGlashan informed the Ballard News-Tribune that two men behind the "Valley One" graffiti marks on over 50 Ballard businesses have been taken into custody.

On Tuesday, June 28, Seattle police counted 37 businesses that had been tagged with "Valley One" in blue paint, McGlashan said.

The following morning, on Wednesday, June 29 around 5 a.m., a witness called 911 after sighting two men spray-painting along 15th Avenue NW.

Officer Macks responded to the call and took the men into custody.

"She handled it very well and we're happy to have her here in Ballard," said McGlashan.

After the arrest, the two men admitted to tagging 20 buildings in addition to the ones counted by the police.
