July 29, 2015 SEATTLE WA,
PATTISON CHRONICLE HEADQUARTERS
Seattle has been receiving a lot of negative press in the
news lately. Whether it’s massive earthquakes hell-bent on destroying the city,
basic violations of human rights by the police force, or massive rent spikes
increasing gentrification to obscene levels, Seattle just can’t seem to catch a
break. In the wake of the negative PR, Mayor Ed Murray gave a speech this
afternoon announcing a plan to steer Seattle back on the path to greatness.
That plan involves running a series of attack ads against Seattle’s rival city
of Portland Oregon.
Mayor Murray closed today’s historic speech with the line, “Seattle
needs to be reminded of how great it truly is, and if the citizens can’t see
that, they at least need to know that we’re better than Portland.” The city
council then unveiled the designs for the billboards which will be put up all
along the I-5 corridor from “Vancouver to Vancouver.” For those who are
unaware, the second Vancouver is a small mistake of a town located just north
of Portland.
The ad rollout will cost the city of Seattle close to 14
million dollars, but the city financial analysts claim that with the fistfuls
of money that they’re making off property, “it just doesn’t really matter.”

What do you think of the new ads? Should Portland be angry?
Is there really a second Vancouver? Let us know in the comments below, or on Facebook, or on Twitter, or throw a
brick through our window, we’re willing to throw down.
