Get out those cameras, Dick’s Drive-In fans.

The Seattle-based fast-food chain announced today that construction workers on Wednesday will install the company’s new pylon sign at its . The sign will be erected at its location at SR 99 at 220th Street Southwest.

The new Edmond’s pylon sign will be virtually identical to the iconic pylon sign at the company’s flagship restaurant in Wallingford on NE 45th Street in Seattle, but will not revolve because such signs are no longer permitted by local building codes, said Shaw.

Berry Neon Signs of Everett designed the sign and will perform the installation on Wednesday.

“The outside of the new Edmonds drive-in is near completion now that the signs are going up,” said company vice president Jim Spady, the son of co-founder and namesake Dick Spady. “After this week, all that is left will be installing the grills, fryers and other inside equipment, getting final approval from the various government inspectors and celebrating the grand opening.”

Spady says the new sign will be illuminated at night, but not until the restaurant’s grand opening, now scheduled for mid-fall.

“Our hope is that the final government inspections and approvals will go as smoothly as the construction,” said Spady, “If all goes well during the final stages, we’ll open much earlier than we had originally planned, and definitely before Thanksgiving.”
