In 2023, the City of Seattle began contracting with Uplift NW to assist with Mayor Harrell’s One Seattle Graffiti Plan and the Downtown Activation Plan. Uplift NW has not only been extremely instrumental and doing great work with graffiti abatement throughout our city, but the partnership has also helped provide livable wage jobs and services to people who need this type of support, helping them build better lives. This has been very fulfilling to be part of.
