My Ballard points to the city’s Surplus Warehouse, where they are selling used street signs from all over town. There is a PDF listing all the signs that are available, over 200 streets in all. Most of the signs sell for $5, for a “below average” condition sign, or you can shell out $10 for “average”.

So if you’ve ever wanted that street sign from the street where you grew up, or even where you live now, head over there and see if it’s on the list.
