The Junction Association has started putting up new decorative banners around the local business district starting with Southwest Alaska Street and 44th Avenue Southwest.

New banners read “Downtown West Seattle,” the business district’s new tagline, and advertise the local Farmer’s Market.

According to Susan Melrose, Junction Association executive director, the rest of the banners will be installed this week.

Signs for the Junction's free parking lots will also be put up on 44th Avenue Southwest. The project is part of the Junction's effort to improve the Junction and create an inviting business district.

In April, the Junction Association will also be replanting crosswalk beds using local landscaping company Artegos Designs.
