This artistic welcome sign was placed near the southern entrance to the city at 15877 SW Barrows Road in Beaverton, Oregon. It is hand carved on a heavy plank representing a log. Logging is a predominate industry in this area. The tuft of grass next to the "B" in Beaverton is an icon used by the city of Beaverton in their website. You can see an example of it used here: (
