WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — The fine for a Walla Walla toy store with a purple octopus mural now totals about $2,000.
The city says the painting at the Inland Octopus toy store is an illegal sign, running up a fine of $100 a day.
Store owner Bob Catsiff says the mural is art. He’s taking the city to court on Nov. 18.
KNDU-TV reports 1,300 people have signed a petition supporting the store owner.
