One way to do this is to require spray paint be kept locked up and out of reach of shoplifters. Portland OR has had this requirement in place since 2007. We should ask Seattle's city council to act and create similar requirements here.

Maybe most efficient would be to simply add a donation button to the front of this site.

Some ideas

  • donation button on this site
  • add advertisements to the site
  • Charlette's neighborhood map idea
  • Capitol Hill CC t-shirts
  • donation drives for specific projects

Time to invent a new Capitol Hill parade

This might even prove to be an item for fund-raising.

Seattle used to have this cute hand-drawn water-color map of the city but now visitors mainly see the "Seattle tourmap 2008" which unfortunately shows Capitol Hill as virtually vacant with the exception of Online Coffee co. I'm guessing because it costs a business around $1,200 a year to be posted in the map is why most Captol Hill businesses, restaurants, shops and organizations are not listed. This new map I hope will put Capitol Hill "on the map".
