Are you a metronatural?
 

Seattle's visitors and convention bureau has adopted a new slogan for our fair city. <i>Metronatural</i>, &quot;designed to highlight Seattle's rare and uniquely marketable combination of urban and outdoor experiences.&quot;

So quick, what word did you first think of when you saw that?

Time's up.

A city girl who doesn't shave her legs? :)

Actually Gardyloo I first read this as Metronuetral and thought it was referring to a persons sexual preference.

My mind is blank :) Sorry. It's been a loooooooooong week for me.

LOL, I saw &quot;Metroneutral,&quot; too1

IMHO: Too cutesy and derivative. Seattle deserves better.

I first thought it was some sort of sci-fi thing. Don't know why....Robotic or something. I think they made a mistake with the slogan.

My first thought was- that's what I am. I love the city (as a visitor) and love the country/nature/lake (to me a lake is nature) forever to distraction.

But in my knowledge and personal experience every metro anything I know is a concrete gorilla. He/she talks about nature, yet spends a whole less time in it- rather ahhhh's from a distance and tends to vote rather green without knowing a tomato plant from a pepper one or how food actually appears. Also doesn't know a plow from a harvester, or a badger from a otter until bitten.

Laughter was my first reaction:D

By chance the same people who came up with the failed &quot;Say Wa&quot; campaign?

At first I thought it said &quot;menstrualnatural&quot; and my reaction was &quot;EEEK!&quot;

I thought of a city guy who doesn't use hair gel and makeup (sort of the opposite of a metrosexual).

I agree that Seattle deserves better... actually I think that Seattle is a great enough place that it doesn't need to label itself - it's above labeling.

Someone who shops at Whole Foods?

Oh gads, my spelling and my typing, lol! Thanks for &quot;getting&quot; what I was trying to convey Anonymous.

I was born with great timing and rhythm so I guess I could be called a......&quot;metronomenautral&quot;? #-O

First word that came to mind:

Was with wife this afternoon when she was picking on a co-worker who said he only spoke one language.

&quot;Oh, so you're Monosapien!&quot; We both laughed, she turned and said,&quot;I just made that up!&quot;

She's a quick one that lady! :)

Metronatural sounds like someone who belongs - or is only happy in a city - that is natural for a metropolitan area.

I think they didn;t do enough focus groups on this one - since it seems to be easily mistaken for exactly the opposite of what they intend.

I think SF has them beat with Metro El Natural ((#))

I have to agree with nytraveler on this one. All that popped into my head was the parts of urban life that I don't like. The natural part of the slogan sounded more like an endorsement of the aforementioned city life than an allusion to all things wild.

I wonder how much this brilliant marketing plan is costing the citizens of Seattle. Baltimore recently adopted the slogan &quot;Get In On It&quot; at a cost of about half a million dollars. I think I'm in the wrong industry.

No, I'm not having the hot flashes yet, I don't expect that for another 10-15 years.

....oh wait a minute, you didn't say menopausal....DOH!! 8-} How embarassing.... :-[

Subterranean tunnel dweller.

Alternate definition, someone who would rather take the subway than a taxi.

I saw an article about this www.nwcn.com and it said it cost $200K. What a waste of money, IMO.
