A trip to Washington Square brought to my attention a “Washington Square Car”. The car is a Cadillac DTS, with decals on the sides and back of the car with Washington Square logos.
The second I saw this, I immediately chuckled. Folks, this is Downtown Bellevue not New York City. This is not a ritzy city, but a ultra high luxury city. Last time I checked, people have a fairly easy time getting around downtown area, and don’t need chauffeurs (yet). The car I’m sure is intended to shuttle around prospective guests, and give tours of the city.
If Bellevue were a car, it would surely not be a Cadillac. Bellevue aligns more with the likes of a Lexus. Bellevue is smart and sophisticated, and a Cadillac is simple and ordinary. Clientèle interested in living in a vibrant, up and coming, technology driven region in condos such as Washington Square aren’t impressed being driven around in a town car, especially a Cadillac.
