Best Slogan Ever

Oh, old Seattle, we can't help but love you and your straight-forward, "won't you please please like me" style. When we were a kid, Seattle was some place stuck in a far-off corner that wasn't mentioned on the national news unless Boeing had a round of lay-offs. Back then, we had to advertise and encourage people to come and move to the Emerald City with catchy slogans. Slogans like the following from 1976:

hahaha, nice pun.

Honestly, I'd front that shirt. But it should be screen-printed in block graphics on an army green, organic cotton t-shirt or hoodie.
