City signs have a unique way of greeting people. In Issaquah, for instance, motorists are told they're entering "a special place where people care." For years, Bothell invited people to stay "for a day or a lifetime."
In Medina, a new sign bears this warning: "You Are Entering a 24 Hour Video Surveillance Area."
Cameras have recently been installed at intersections to monitor every vehicle coming into the city.
Under the "automatic license plate recognition" project, once a car enters Medina, a camera captures its license-plate number. Within seconds, the number is run through a database.
