Repair crews were spotted fixing broken windows on Saturday afternoon at the Roosevelt US Bank, located at 1023 NE 63rd Street (map). Vandals hit the building early in the morning on November 26, using tools to punch fist-sized holes in nearly all of the windows.
A close-up of the damage to one of the windows at the US Bank in Roosevelt.
According to the Seattle Police Blotter, the vandalism happened in the early AM hours:
On November 26th, at approximately 2:50 am, unidentified suspect(s) used unknown tools to shatter and/or break holes in nearly all of the windows and the ATM screen at a bank located in the 1000 Block of NE 63rd Street. A large spray paint tag was left on the bank’s southwest exterior wall that read, “REVENGE FOR OCCUPY OAKLAND.” No entry was made into the bank.
The damage is estimated to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
The spray-painted message is likely in reference to police action in Oakland, Calif. on October 25, when police raided an Occupy Oakland encampment.
If you have any information about the incident, please call the Seattle Police Department at (206) 625-5011.
