John and Lynn Boone called police Tuesday after finding hateful graffiti on their cars and garage.

 EVERETT, Wash. – Police say an Everett couple's son admitted to spray painting racist graffiti on the couple's house Tuesday.

John and Lynn Boone called police after finding hateful graffiti on their cars and garage.

"I thought that all of this had gone away through the years," John Boone said. "I see that it hasn't."

A police dog searched the neighborhood Tuesday, but couldn't track down a scent. A note painted on the door suggests the suspect watched the first time police came.

Everett police later said the couple's son admitted to the crime.
