You need to know this: Do not remove campaign signs

Saturday, October 21, 2023

It's campaign season, which means campaign signs are sprouting up around the City. 

This is a reminder that under RCW 29A.84.040, it is illegal to remove lawfully placed campaign signs. 

Removal without authorization is considered a misdemeanor. 

Regardless of your views of a candidate or an issue, do not remove campaign signs from private or public property.
 
If you believe a sign is improperly placed in the public right-of-way, contact the City's Customer Response Team at 206-801-2700.
 
Campaigns must receive permission from private property owners before placing a sign on private property.

In the Richmond Beach neighborhood, some individual has removed all legally placed political signs for the current candidates running for Shoreline City Council west of Dayton Ave throughout Richmond Beach neighborhood and surrounds. Such petty actions like this are truly irresponsible/childish and it seems like such an individual could find something much better to do with their time. Candidates have to pay for these election signs and they are not cheap. Perhaps the individual who stole these signs could take them to the nearest public library and or fire station and simply return them all -- no questions asked.
