Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.
Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on Seattle streets where people actually walk — wheatpaste posters, hand-painted murals, sidewalk stencils, pole snipes, and interior takeovers, printed and installed by one crew. No media-owner middleman, no billboard rates: every placement is permitted, hand-applied, and photographed the day it goes up.
- 01Brief & route
You send the brand, dates, and audience. We map the Seattle corridors where that buyer actually walks and price off the published floor.
- 02Scout & secure
Crews scout walls on foot, then lock every surface in writing: owner agreement, BID-cleared scaffold, or permitted hoarding. The paper trail ships with the photos.
- 03Print & install
We print in-house and hand-install from dawn, moving neighborhood to neighborhood. Tier-1 dispatch means same-week turnarounds on print-ready creative.
- 04Document
Every placement shot wide, mid, and detail, GPS-stamped on install day. The wrap deck lands within five business days with the full proof set.

Why street media works in Seattle.
Seattle reads the street. Capitol Hill's music scene and South Lake Union's tech corridor produce two of the most online-engaged audiences in the country. Strong work gets photographed, posted, and argued over in subreddits and Slack channels, so earned amplification routinely runs past the raw impression count.
Three reasons brands book us here
- 1Capitol Hill density meets Pioneer Square architecture
Capitol Hill is the densest residential-commercial corridor on the West Coast outside SF. Pioneer Square's 19th-century brick architecture frames every install. Together they offer a surface mix (modern storefronts, historic walls, scaffolding) that few Tier-1 cities match.
- 2Audience that engages, doesn't ignore
Seattle reads the street. Tech workers in South Lake Union, music scenes on Capitol Hill, independent retail in Ballard and Fremont. These are audiences that notice install quality and talk about campaigns online. The Yonex Midnight run proved that signal.
- 3Two confirmed campaigns documenting the market
Yonex Midnight on Capitol Hill. FIFA World Cup 2026 host-city work in the stadium corridor. Active install records, GPS-stamped photos, and a Seattle crew embedded in the neighborhoods where the work lives.

Surfaces, permits & timing
Surfaces
6 neighborhoods scouted weekly: 40+ wheatpaste walls, 12+ BID-permitted scaffold corners, 8+ mural-ready sites, plus interior partners. Brick, concrete, hoarding, and storefront.
Permit path
Seattle allows wheatpaste on private property with the owner's written permission, which we secure on every campaign. Public infrastructure (utility poles, transit surfaces, public right-of-way) is off-limits and we never install on it. Capitol Hill and Pioneer Square carry the heaviest commercial wall inventory. Code Compliance responds to graffiti complaints in roughly 30 to 45 days. The Pioneer Square Preservation District, the Capitol Hill Pike-Pine Conservation Overlay, and the Ballard NCD each carry distinct facade-modification rules we track, and we keep a current permit matrix for every active Seattle zip code.
When to run
Pacific Northwest wet season (October through April) shifts installs to dry-weather windows and adds a 2 to 3 day weather buffer; summer (May through September) runs on ideal conditions. Plan around FIFA World Cup 2026 host-city matches, the tech calendar (AWS re:Invent regional, GeekWire Summit, Cascadia AI Summit), and the music calendar (Bumbershoot, Capitol Hill Block Party, Decibel Festival).

What Seattle brand managers ask on intake calls. Permit reality, lead time, minimums, photo proof. If your question isn't here, brief us directly.
Q · 01 Is wheatpasting legal in Seattle?
Yes, on private property with the owner's written permission. We secure that consent on every campaign. Posting on public infrastructure (utility poles, transit surfaces, public right-of-way) is prohibited, and we never touch those surfaces. The legal framework varies by overlay district, and we keep a current compliance matrix for every active Seattle zip code. Only permissioned commercial walls, scaffolding, and hoarding.
Q · 02 How much does a Seattle wheatpaste campaign cost?
Wheatpaste in Seattle starts at $3,500 per campaign, print and install included. Multi-neighborhood programs across Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square, Belltown, South Lake Union, Fremont, Ballard, and Georgetown price up from the published floor. The final number depends on turnaround, size, location count, and combined service mix, and it tracks print volume and crew days, not the brand on the poster. Final quote returns in 24-48 hours.
Q · 03 Which Seattle neighborhoods get the strongest paste-up coverage?
Active install zones: Pioneer Square, Capitol Hill, Belltown, South Lake Union, Fremont, Ballard, and Georgetown. Pioneer Square and Capitol Hill carry the heaviest wall inventory. South Lake Union serves tech and corporate clients. Fremont and Ballard cover independent retail. Georgetown holds industrial-warehouse aesthetics. SoDo and Columbia City extend southern coverage into stadium-corridor and South-Seattle reach.
Q · 04 How long does it take to launch a Seattle campaign?
Seven to fourteen days from approved creative to first install. Seattle is Tier-1 with active crews. Same-week turnarounds are achievable for clients with print-ready creative. Property coordination in Capitol Hill and Pioneer Square is fast. Long-standing wall partnerships hold across campaigns. Wet-season campaigns (October through April) require 2 to 3 days of weather-contingency buffer.
Q · 05 How does Seattle music and tech culture affect campaigns?
Capitol Hill's music scene and South Lake Union's tech corridor produce two of the most online-engaged audiences in the country. Campaigns get photographed by passersby, posted to social, and discussed in subreddits and Slack channels. Plan for earned amplification. Seattle audiences spread strong work through their own networks.
