Cleaning up Seattle: Ex-graffiti artist uses his knowledge to fight tagging

A notorious graffiti tagger in Seattle, known for spray-painting the word "eager" thousands of times on both public and private property in Seattle, is making amends for his past transgressions by becoming part of the solution—cleaning up graffiti.

Prosecutors estimated Casey Cain, the man behind the "eager" graffiti tags, has caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. He was ordered to spend 80 hours cleaning graffiti as part of a 2024 plea agreement for a felony malicious mischief.
