Stand Up For Better Health

We just finished a window sign for a company that makes treadmill work stations.  Work While Walking in Bellevue, WA, wanted to grab the attention of people passing by, so we designed an animated sign using their logo.  

So, if you think you can walk and type at the same time, this is the work station for you!!

Lamplighter Public House

Western Neon would like to introduce the new Lamplighter Public House, originally Sweet Lou's in Greenwood.

This location has been updated with a VERY unique rooftop sign. It has a 5 foot tall lamplighter figure, who is lighting a streetlamp with a flickering flame.

We invite you to go visit the new hot spot in the heart of Greenwood and try some of their drink specials.  

Restaurant français arrive au centre-ville de Seattle

Chef Thierry Rautureau's long-anticipated new restaurant, Loulay Kitchen & Bar, officially opened this week at Sixth Avenue and Union Street, a win for downtown Seattle’s efforts to land local celebrity chefs.

Named for his hometown of Saint Hilaire de Loulay in France, the new restaurant will feature Rautureau’s take on contemporary urban French cooking and will operate in partnership with the Sheraton Hotel next door. 

Rautureau won the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef Northwest Award in 1998 for his fine-dining restaurant Rover’s in the Madison Park neighborhood. He later added the more casual Luc on an adjacent lot.

Also known by his trademarked name “the Chef in the Hat” for his ever-present straw fedora, Rautureau closed Rover’s in June after 26 years and began the transition to downtown. He has described Loulay as a marriage of Rover’s and Luc and “the culinary presentation of my heart and soul.”

Western Neon provided all the stunning signage for our favorite "chef in the hat", who was fabulous to work with on this project.  The main exterior sign on the corner entrance is a curved cabinet with radiused corners and clear gold neon script and hat extending beyond the cabinet.

The Yard Cafe in Greenwood

Are you looking for a neighborhood joint that lets you laze in the sun as you sip a microbrew, munch on tasty Mexican and pub fare and keep tabs on a Mariners game?

The Yard Cafe is that kind of hangout. To spot this ultracasual Greenwood bar and bistro just off busy N., 85th Street, be on alert for the sign — or you might think this fenced-in spot with a grouping of picnic tables is, yes, somebody’s no-frills yard.

Western Neon designed and fabricated a projecting vertical sign with rusted 

steel cabinets and perforated returns. The routed out face is backed with 

white acrylic and illuminated with clear red neon.

Actually, it’s a joint with an open patio, a small sports bar and another area of tucked-away indoor seating that nobody bothers with in sunny weather. There’s good grub, and 18 microbrews on tap.  

Stop in and say "hi" to Jamie Butler or Travis Eaton and try the quarter-pounder Yard Burger with pico de gallo, aioli, and butter lettuce.
