WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — The city of Walla Walla doesn’t like the mural of a giant purple octopus that was painted on the front of a downtown toy store.
City Attorney Tim Donaldson says it violates the city’s sign code. He’s recommending that the city council take enforcement action.
The owner of the Inland Octopus toy store, Bob Catsiff, says the mural is art, not a sign.
The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin reports it shows an octopus peeking over the walls of a castle with a rainbow overhead. It was painted over the Labor Day weekend.
