So my fine city of Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau just spent over a year and $200,000 (that's two hundred thousand dollars) comin' up with a new slogan to lure in the coventioneers and tourists.

Over a year and $200,000 and we have...

Metronatural.

No, that's not a typo. The word that will now be used to describe Seattle to all the world is...Metronatural.

Right, I hear yuh "What the hell does that mean???" Well apparently it's meant to say:

"We have a vibrant urban center surrounded by pristine wilderness and outdoor recreation." -Don Welsh, President of Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau-

Oh, yeah. Now I get it. Brilliant.

Plus I'm guessin' it's a nudge-nudge-wink-wink take on metrosexual which is so timely and current...Oh wait, this isn't 2003. Never mind.

But as God as my witness I will fight to my last breath to make sure I am never referred to as a metronaturalist.
