The 'thrill and addiction' of Seattle graffiti artists
Is it street art? Or just graffiti? Many American cities have tried to curb the practice of tagging, and in most places, it's associated with gang activity. In Seattle, that's generally not the case.
Reporter Kimberlee Williams, from the youth media program sponsored by Seattle public station KUOW, prepared this story about two young Seattle men who go by the names Baso and Skeez.
