This is an example of Hawaiian. It’s a sign of metal made letters so it’s a permanent placement. It means small anchovy which fits for the small food court at the top of Pearl ridge downtown side. It’s probably just good decoration and metaphor for the area appealing to both locals and tourists.

(SK) (#3) This sign is located on campus in the Life Sciences building. The Hawaiian word for woman is exhibited on the sign which is “Wahine.” Hawaiian is found here because it again is used in an attempt to familiarize/normalize the language on campus. Anyone would be able to know what the sign means without knowing the language because of context and already knowing that that symbol means woman. The intended audience of this is anyone looking to use the bathrooms.

The street of Yesler Way is very diverse, and I feel this is a depiction of the crossroads that lead to diverse neighborhoods.

This is an example of Hawaiian. It’s a metal sign so it’s a more permanent fixture. Wai means water, makai means towards the ocean, that’s why the sign is blue with a wave picture. It appeals to both tourists and locals for direction and learning.

(SK) (#3) This sign is found in the freshman towers located on campus. The point of this sign is to educate the students/residents of the tower and begin to immerse them in the language of Hawaiian. It does this by giving the translation of the word in standard English and then also adding the Hawaiian translation. In this case, the word “red” in Hawaiian is “‘ ‘ula’ula” according to the sign.
