Welcome to Seattle! We're "MetroNatural!"

What the hell does that mean?

Seattle unveiled it's new tourism slogan this weekend, painting the words on top of the Space Needle, (and I must say, I DON'T envy whoever had that job.) And like most people, I'm left scratching my head, saying, "Uh.... what?"

The Seattle Times interviewed residents asking them what they thought it meant, and responses ranged from "an airport where you can buy organic bananas," to "an urban nudist camp." The best part? Seattle spent $200,000 to come up with this er... "slogan" and will spend another $300,000 promoting it.

MetroNatural? C'mon Seattle! You can come up with something better, or more appealing. Let's see... how about:

• Seattle- Thank you Grey's Anatomy for putting us back on the map!
• Seattle- You can blame us for Starbucks.
• Seattle- The palest city in the nation!
• Seattle- Uh... go Mariners?

See. It's not that hard.

And this makes me wonder... what if Pittsburg, or Fort Scott, or Nevada came up with a new tourism slogan? What would it be?

Hmmmmm.
