I’ll admit, I am not a branding expert. But in my defense, neither are all the politicians so excited for this stupid new name for Paine Field (“Everett’s Paine Field is now Seattle Paine Field International Airport,” The Herald, July 18). Why are we so obsessed with trying to cleave ourselves onto Seattle at the expense of creating and strengthening our own identity? I didn’t move to Everett so that I could live in the “Seattle North Country” (another stupid name by people obsessed with Seattle).
