131869	United States Everett	A mural advertising a t-shirt printing place. It should be worth noting that "we can make it here" can be interpreted in plenty of different ways. It could be communicating for the t-shirt company and their ability to print, it could also be some sort of ideal that plays towards the American dream. How much immigrants are influenced by the American dream is something I can't personally make comment on, but considering the other signage around downtown Everett, "we" might not have the idea of immigrants in mind.

131870	United States Everett	Here are some posters put on the inside of a business advertising the upcoming pride parade in Everett. Like all things, acceptance can be conditional, and while maybe not intentional, Everett has lots of missed places where additional languages could be displayed, yet fail to be so. The pride poster captures that a little	Ling study EDC&I
131871	United States Everett	A sticker located close to the high school of Everett. This seems to be the first piece of lettering that I've come across that could have some semblance of tolerance towards immigrants. Though building "communities, not cages" isn't necessarily just for immigrants but for low-income areas in general. It being close to the high school communicates that at least the younger population in the area might be more accepting/accommodating of immigrants.	Ling study EDC&I
131872	United States Everett	Here is the sign marking the entrance to one of Everett High School's several buildings. Unlike other "public" bodies in the area, nothing around the high school seems to show navigation of its campus, which tells others that students are expected to know which building is which. With that in mind, perhaps there's resources given out to students to help them understand what is where, which might give a better chance at given non-English speakers easier access to material they need.

131873	United States Everett	Several tags have been lined up on top of one-another on this building. All of them seem to be in English, and it makes me wonder if there are any pieces of street art, graffiti or otherwise, that is in another language in this area. Do immigrants live anywhere in downtown Everett? Perhaps not.	Ling study EDC&I
131874	United States Everett	Here is a sign for what I believe to be a restaurant with live music. They will be hosting a live band that's showcasing someone with a Spanish name. The music for the referred album is classic rock with English lyrics. Once again, downtown Everett broadly offers the aesthetic of immigrant/cross-culture influence, but seemingly is absent of them.

131875	United States Everett	A sticker sits near a crosswalk. Like most of the graffiti surrounding the area, the language is only English, though the message still communicates a level of class-unity. Pieces of graffiti in the area only protest wealth, and not specific struggles of being part of a certain group outside of that, whether that be immigrants or not. Ironically enough, the protest stickers echo the same way the restaurants do, as a place that is disconnected with anything resembling an immigrant population in any regard.	Ling study EDC&I
