The Schrammie: Say WA?

It's not what you are.

It's what people think you are.

With such impeccable logic put into play, I'd like to invite Lynnwood city officials to "Say WA" and come on down.

With 80,000 tax-payer dollars burning a hole in their pockets, the Lynnwood brain trust has decided the city is in desperate need of an image makeover.

Lynnwood officials decided that this glorious suburban city has been the butt of too many jokes.

They feel it has simply endured too many disparaging comments and that it's time to spiff things up.

So $80,000 has been set aside to hire a national branding expert to give Lynnwood an image makeover.

Oh, I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking that in these tough economic times how can a city afford such extravagance?

You're thinking couldn't this money be used for parks, police or potholes?

Well that just shows you need to get your priorities straight.

Look how much the slogan "Say WA" did for our state.

Think of how the catchy phrase "Metronatural" bolstered the City of Seattle.

Lynnwood city officials wanted recognition.

Okay, let's recognize 'em: You're dolts

Which is reason enough for them to take a bow, because this "Schrammie" is for them.
