Project Overview
The City of Burien is developing a new citywide signage system for parks and public facilities. This initiative aims to enhance the experience for residents and visitors while creating a unified and consistent design across all wayfinding elements in both urban and neighborhood areas. The new signage will also help foster a shared identity for Burien's neighborhoods, highlighting our community's rich diversity, vibrant arts and culture, and beautiful natural environment.
Project Timeline

Project Goals
This project will establish a comprehensive parks and facilities wayfinding signage system that will build upon the public engagement work from the Downtown Wayfinding Signage Plan as well as create additional signage designs that project a consistent citywide image, help shape the identity of place (i.e. integrated placemaking and art elements) and a sense of belonging while contributing significantly toward the satisfaction of visitors and community pride as well as ownership among residents.
From community feedback, City staff will work the consultant to make last refinements to finalize the conceptual signage design and move towards construction for the first phase of implementation signage.
