Seattle’s Old Street Signs

The Seattle Department of Transportation is using a new digital method to print all kinds of traffic signs.  SDOT’s street sign replacement program was made possible by Bridging the Gap, the nine-year transportation maintenance levy.

By 2016, every neighborhood had new, brighter and bigger street signs.   Here is a look at the SDOT Sign Shop and how they work.

Here is the story of how Seattle’s street-naming system began.

    I took a look at that link. Lots of interesting odd things I can buy and some cool bargains on office stuff too. Thanks 🙂

  2. And don’t forget the University of Washington surplus store, though it may be less convenient to access because it is only open to the public on Tuesdays. They send out info on Twitter, of what’s available.
