Signs Signs Everywhere Signs

Our sign supply is growing! We now have Allen for Assessor signs and Library Levy support signs available at Dell's in White Salmon and Jim's in Lyle. Let us know if you need a sign, and we'll get you set up!

Where can you place signs? This handy guide was in the Enterprise recently. Signs are valuable, so please don't put them someplace illegal. They'll be confiscated! Also, our Democratic candidates look bad if we put signs where they don't belong...

Under WA Administrative Code 468-66, temporary political signs are allowed on private property visible from state highways. The property owner must consent, and the sign must comply with the WAC, as well as any local regulations. They must also meet the following requirements:
  • Maximum size of 32 square feet in area
  • Removed within 10 days following the election
Keep in mind that signs are NOT allowed in the state highway right of way.
  • Utility poles are typically located inside the right of way. So, NO signs between the pole and the state highway.
  • Where a fence separates the right of way from private property, NO signs between the fence and the state highway.
If you are not sure about the boundary lines, you can check with WSDOT Outdoor Advertising Specialist Pat O'Leary at OLearyP@wsdot.wa.gov. You will need to provide the state route number and the name of the nearest intersection or approximate milepost.

  1. Darlene Johnson had a sign in front of the DMV on Jewett in White Salmon. That property is not private property. The sign was removed, but before I left on vacation I noticed a sign for someone else had been placed there.
