Here's a sign featuring both Arabic through the name "Aladdin" as well as English through the subsequent "bail bonds" part. Perhaps the business is owned by or was previously owned by someone with an Arabic name, which could at least imply a population other than white European english-speakers

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.

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.

Info sign regarding the expansion of the children's museum in downtown Everett. Lots of the expansion signs in the downtown area seem to be exclusively in English, both saying that the majority of speakers in the area are English, and that there's an expectation that future residents will also only speak English.

Here's another Everett sign expecting most everyone reading it to understand English. I can't help but imagine if someone is non-English speaking how they would know what to and not to stay away from.

Without any context, something like this would almost be a way to bring in people who want to prolong the efforts that Christopher Columbus set, which communicates how many people in Everett would be interested in coming to something like that.

a heavily stylized Japanese mural text. Not sure what it says but it's definitely not English. Speaks volumes that the first piece of Asian text is used for a mural

This local proudly shares his culture by highlighting one of the most iconic symbols of Mexico "the nopal". He presents it with its proper Spanish spelling while also including the English translation to confirm it's authentic Mexican food, ensuring everyone understands the kind of restaurant it is

This bilingual sign is a good example of how a business can honor its cultural roots while also making its services accessible to a wider audience.
