The proposed designs for the Welcome Sign, intended to greet visitors and residents alike, fail to capture the essence of our  city. Feedback from countless citizens has  echoed discontent: the proposed designs are uninspiring, bland, and simply do not reflect the true spirit of Aberdeen.

Recent public forums and social media feedback capture a striking consensus. Most comments have marked their displeasure towards the proposed options. 

Therefore, we urge the City Council of Aberdeen to reconvene the design selection committee with a new mission: to create an inclusive process that involves local artists, input from diverse community groups, and specialists in urban aesthetics. The town of Aberdeen deserves a sign that is not only a welcoming beacon but also a reflection of its  identity.

Join us in asking our city leaders to pause, listen, and involve their constituents in this crucial decision-making process. The sign at the entrance of our city should be a testament to  unique Aberdeen. Sign this petition to advocate for a Welcome Sign that truly represents Aberdeen, Washington.
