- What languages are used on the sign?:
The languages that are used on the sign are Hawai’i Creole or Pidgin and English.
- How is the language presented?:
The Pidgin is presented in skinny, yellow letters and the English is presented in smaller letters in a variety of colors that are placed in different areas of the photo.
- Who is the audience?:
The audience is the general public, but would probably be more directed towards locals.
- What is the domain?:
The domain is on an example card for a T-shirt in the T&C store at Windward Mall.
- What is the sign telling people?:
The phrase “kanak attack” is the feeling of intense laziness you get from eating too much. The plate shown in the photo of the Katsu chicken, Mac salad, 2 scoops of rice, meat with soy sauce and the Hawaiian Style drink is a very popular plate on the island and normally after eating this big of a meal people feel so tired and lethargic they they just want to knock out. Which is why the shirt says “Home of the kanak attack”.
- Why is Pidgin/Hawaiian being used here?:
Pidgin is being used here because it is an entertaining way to make a shirt. By wearing this shirt, it would show that you’re a proud local since Pidgin is like a signature in Hawai’i and so is the food shown.

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.

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.

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.

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.
