Edmonds police are working to track down security video after several businesses were tagged with posters and graffiti Saturday morning.
Investigators have said that multiple businesses were hit in the downtown area with graffiti with various messages like “Free Palestine,” “Stop the Genocide,” and “Ceasefire Now.”

Many of the posters depict Washington Senator Maria Cantwell, with text that reads, “Missing have you seen her soul?”
Police say there were no specific threats made to anyone or any group but did say that the vandalism affected about 40 to 50 businesses in the local community, as well as a mural honoring the Coast Salish people.
Businesses tell the Edmonds Beacon they lament the damage as they are trying to avoid political platforms.
The graffiti comes as thousands of miles away, the White House changes its tune to Israel, now suggesting Israel wrap up its military operations in Gaza.
