Seattle's new motto

I thought the motto when I lived there was "Where is the slug bait?"

Did you hear that Washington State decided to drop the "Say WA" slogan?

I'm in Spokane - near nature, near perfect. (except for having the highest gas prices in the lower 48, and bad roads, and parking garages that have walls that fall apart when cars bump them at low speed, and . . . )

It's a sad time in the Metronatural area for the slug.
too much Metro pushing the natural
farther toward the horizon.

I do need to get out more!

There's a "Say WA" slogan???

Yup. "Metronatural" is its replacement. Washington state must foster an inability to write effective ad copy-or it hires poor writers...

How about this: "Geoducks: Not just for breakfast anymore!"
(Pronounced "gooeyduck", its a rude-looking but tasty clam diggable during minus tides here.)

Here's a slogan for Washington State:

"It's a Wash!"

(and I'll do it for just $1000.)

Wrong...wrong...wrong

Price it more that the last one.
It IS better isn't it?

I suggest alternating shots of rainy/sunny scenes for the visual piece of the ad campaign.

I like it better than "Oklahoma is OK."

This makes perfect sense. The omelette is made with organic, free-range eggs. The omelette is speckled with a neatly diced blend of red and green bell peppers, and topped by a sprinkling of caramelized onion. (all organic.) The omelette is served with freshly-squeezed, organic orange juice, by a waiter named Daya who has dreadlocks. Clean dreadlocks. Daya's gender is not important. You pay with your VISA gold card. The one which kicks a few cents back to Doctors without Borders for each purchase.

Don't forget the fair trade, shade grown coffee he drinks to fight off SAD caused more by the near perpetual cloud cover than the time of year.

No, that's a key point. And makes me wonder whether Starbucks will soon be offering a new "Metronatural Blend" as a counterpoint to Sumatra, Tarrazú, Florentina, and Pygmy.

We tease (Tom lived in Issaquah for a bit, and his girls still do) that the easiest job in the world is being a weather person in Seattle.

"Today, High in the 50's, partial sun breaks."
"Tomorrow, Highs in the 50's, partial sun breaks."
"Later this week, Highs in the 50's, partial sun breaks."

It doesn't really have the same kind of ring to it...
