an information placard detailing the establishment of a library that's in Everett. The establishment of the building is in part inspired by Andrew Carnegie, a 19th century steel mill executive. Having information that's only English prevents others from enjoying the foundation of this building.

Pidgin and English
At the Polynesian Cultural Center, I came across this “Soda Bomb” soda truck. What struck me was that the menu was mainly in English but had incorporated Pidgin elements. For example, the “Shoots,” “Ho Nah,” “Ho Cuz,” “Das Cherreh,” and “Broke Da Mouth” drinks are all elements/phrases within the Pidgin language. This showed me how businesses use elements such as Pidgin to connect to local customers. The use of Pidgin here reflects the community around it. It made me realize that multilingualism also represents culture, and that language choices in public spaces can make people feel recognized and embodied.

The campus directory of Snohomish county headquarters. Being a governing body, part of me would expect there to be more than just English to supplement more people using the campus courthouse, but only English stands here. Things like this could make even legal access more difficult for immigrants
