I don’t need to stoke the flames of the Tacoma vs. Seattle rivalry. It’s long-standing. Tacoma kind of hates Seattle. And Seattle could usually care less about Tacoma. It’s really a classic dynamic.

Say what you will about T-Town, but the Internet brings confirmation this morning that Tacoma just owned Seattle in one very important department …

The televised council intro department, to be precise.

Yes, the Tacoma City Council just unleashed a bad-ass new dais walk-up jam, which, according to Tacoma’s Exit133 blog, debuted this week. A power combo of Super Friends gusto and small-time elected official idolatry, it’s safe to say the new Tacoma City Council intro sets a pretty high public-television bar.

Bottom line: It’s a game-changer.

Now check out the the Seattle City Council’s weak intro and tell me you’re not a little embarassed. Is Burgess’ mic even on? Get it together, Seattle.

Author’s Note: I’m sure Tacoma will figure out how to get that Windows navigation bar off the screen at some point.
