The Great Identity Crisis! Vancouver Washington

Vancouver WA Real Estate

Vancouver, NOT BC. Washington, NOT DC!

It seems that some of us Vancouver residents (Vancouverites? uh, Vancouveronians?) are suffering from an identity crisis. We don't know who we are and we aren't sure what to do about it.

The Columbian reports that "Clark County needs a new brand. Led by an economic developer at the city of Vancouver, they're launching a seven-month, zero-budget effort to agree on a new logo, phrase and "story" that somehow tie together this half-rural, half-suburban swatch of Southwest Washington."

Personally, I like Vancouver Washington just the way it is. I like to think of it as our little secret.  Beautiful scenery, no state income tax, awesome schools, great fishing and hunting, and just 10 minutes from everything that Portland has to offer...

Don't tell anyone. It will be our little secret!

You may want to dig a little deeper my friend. It is a zero budget committee that is true, but they are looking for more than an identity change, they are looking to change the whole name of the city to "Fort Vancouver" and if you think that will come for free to the city and all the business in  your city, you are dead wrong.

I think you need to fight it, I'm with you Vancouver is fine just the way it is.
