Seattle Washington is a place of great natural beauty. It is also a fairly old town by western US standards and that makes for a wealth of old signs.
These old mission signs are wonderful. Talk about down and out. The mission above still seems to be operating. The sign below was displayed on the wonderful “Seattle Underground” tour.
Many of the buildings have kept their original signs like the one above.
Steam Baths have a not very nice ring to them. This is another sign you can see on the Seattle Underground Tour.
The more modern signs are wonderful. Seattle has a lot going on I loved the J&M Cafe sign above embedded in a matrix.
We didn’t eat at Cutters Crabhouse but I love the sleek modern look of it.
We saw a few of these signs around town. I love Seattle and it is a great sports town but they need to quit being whiny babies!
Oklahoma City will never give up their Thunder. Uh, at least until the next Oil Bust.
This is one of the many wonderful things I noticed in Seattle. You captured it well.
Great signs. I especially like those really old ones.
We do have some good OLD signs and, of course, you can find the whiny ones everywhere!! Great post for the day, glad we provided you with such inspiration!!
I’ve never been to Seattle but I’d love to go sometime. But first, I’d like to see NYC and Vegas. And maybe a tropical vacation in between.
Great sign shots. I love Seattle for many reasons.
love love love these signs .. especially the old ones
Great signs especially the old painted ones!
Wonderful old and new signs from wonderful Seattle. Isn’t that Underground Tour amazing? …it has been years since we’ve done that; maybe we need to go again (with camera!)
You were busy photographing signs. That’s a nice collection.
an underground tour sounds like something I could really get into! great signs.
I love those vintage sign look…

Very interesting collection of signs. I do love Seattle!
A great series. I really like the older signs, especially the one for the mission.
You have posted a fine series of signs. Love the older ones, especially the Mission sign.
I love those old signs. And, we are so not giving up our Thunder!
i wish i had known about the Seattle Underground tour during my short visit to Seattle. i enjoyed this series. love the orange and gray of Cutters Crabhouse.
I recognize the old part of Seattle, and I remember going on the underground tour. It really blew me out of the ballpark. I do love Seattle. It is a shame my son has to live so far away because if he was closer I would be there all the time. genie
How cool! I didn’t know such a tour existed. Seems like a few U.S. cities had an underground section to them.
Ah! The old, old signs are my favourites of this collection.
I’ve added this to my list of must-see when I am in Seattle! Thank you.
Very nice all of the signs.
Good job!
