There are 41 snazzy, new bike racks coming into town and each one is looking for a good name: YOURS.
Sponsor a Bike Rack
You can have your business, organization, family or personal name emblazoned on two sides of a bike rack for 5 whole years for the low cost of $200. That’s quite the visibility! Sponsoring a bike rack shows that you support the bicyclists in town that hop on their bikes instead of into their cars. By sponsoring a bike rack, you encourage the “Shop Local” imperative and nurture the local economy. Just think of people riding, walking and driving around town seeing YOUR name in front of them every time they go by.

Contact name, e-mail address, phone number, physical address.
Statement of intent to sponsor a bike rack (or more than one). - Incoming emails will be chronologically organized by time stamp and interested sponsors will be notified of their positions in the queue. Upon finalization of bike rack locations, sponsors will be allowed to select from the location list for their sponsored bike rack.
- You will finalize your sponsorship by signing a Sponsorship Agreement, paying your fees and providing name/logo content for the plaque.
Sponsoring vs. Hosting
There are two different, formal agreements involved in the bike rack projects: Hosting Agreement and Sponsorship Agreement.
- Hosting Agreement – This is an agreement between the City of Burien, WABI and the owner of a private commercial center to “host” a city-owned bike rack on the private property. There is no charge to the property owner.Many businesses in Burien are located within privately-owned retail/commercial centers (such as at Five Corners with Albertson’s and Trader Joe’s, and Burien Plaza with Safeway and Starbuck’s.) For these locations, BOTH agreements will be involved.
- Sponsorship Agreement – This is an agreement between WABI and the bike rack sponsor, no matter whether the rack is in the public right-of-way or in a privately-owned commercial center.
