Revitalizing downtown neighborhoods with murals

The city of Seattle is trying out lots of ways to bring people back downtown. Recently artists armed with paintbrushes and aerosol cans came together for the Belltown Mural festival. They left a big impression on the neighborhood.. 

Seattle Now producer Brooklyn Jamerson Flowers was out and about checking out the work and tells us about it.
