Tacoma: Your Tagline Here

I had a conversation last week with someone about our What Do You Hope For? discussion and its seventy something comments.  In the midst of our talk I was told, “What the city needs is a new tagline.”  “Seriously?  What do you suggest?” I asked.  “Oh, I don’t know.  ‘America’s Most Wired City’ is so 1998 and ‘City of Destiny’ is hardly actionable or inspirational.  Maybe the commenters who had all those opinions about what we need can come up with a tagline that reflects some vision.”  So here’s the question, can you think of a marketing phrase, or tagline, for Tacoma that reflects where you want us to go?

    Great work Daniel! You truly captured the essence of our city’s wonderful market scene and all of the great people who take part in them! It was a perfect salute for the Harvest Feast.

    Um, yes, this was a truly great poem. Witty and fun… especially love highlights to conscious consumerism, local grub, and the craziness that is our global supply chain….
