An Interview with Dawes, Tonight's Tractor Headliner
The City’s undertaking a program to upgrade street signs from aluminum fiberglass (they’re shinier and last longer), and so the Department of Transportation is selling the old street signs for $5-15, depending on condition. SDOT’s put up a list of available signs (pdf here), or you can check the signs out in person at the City’s Surplus Warehouse at 3807 Second Ave. S. More info is available on the Surplus Warehouse website. The program is funded by the Bridging the Gap repair levy, which was approved a few years ago. By 2016, every neighborhood will have had their signs replaced--so if you want a particular sign, just wait.
Hat tip to the Central District News.

But at the same time, know that this has been going on since 2007, and some signs might already be gone. And my anecdote: awhile ago I called asking about a particular sign, and was informed that some guy had purchased about 200 the day before! I wonder what he did with them...
It may have been the owner of what was Acacia Florists at 12th and Union. There looks to be well over 1000 street signs used as cladding for a patio.
Hmmm. The Central District News had this story just this morning... coincidence?

Weird that they're not selling any numbered street signs. So much of Seattle is numbered streets - don't they think we have any street pride?
so are you guys planning on crediting CDNews anytime soon?
