The White Center Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Seattle Foundation and the White Center Community Development Association (CDA), has installed two new multi-language “Welcome” signs in White Center. Of the five original signs installed in the early 1990s, all are damaged beyond repair.
These two signs are coated with an anti-graffiti material and represent the first phase for replacing all White Center Welcome signs. Each of the two signs has different langagues. The languages on the one in the photo are different than the languages on the one located on 4th s.w. and 108th.
The signs are located near Holy Family School roughly Roxbury Street s.w. and between 18th s.w. and 20th s.w. The second new sign is located at 4th SW and SW 108th in unincorporated King County. The Chamber will continue fund raising to replace the other three signs in 2011.
