MOSES LAKE, Wash.

City invites visitors to ‘Jump In’

Water sports capital of the U.S. That’s the theme local leaders hope to convey with a new motto and logo designed to draw more visitors to the central Washington community.

Earlier this month the City Council voted to replace a logo featuring the multicolored sun logo with a sun and water graphic bearing the words “Moses Lake” and the tagline “Jump In.”

The branding and marketing plan was designed by Destination Development Inc.

It cost Moses Lake $155,000 for marketing and branding, and new signs to be placed at freeway exits next year will cost about $240,000, according to the marketing plan. John Kelsh, a partner in Destination Development, said the new logo could help attract some water sports competition and persuade more families to visit.

Roger A. Brooks, chief executive of Destination Development, said the logo, signs and marketing campaign should be phased in slowly to allow time for development of water activities and related businesses promoted by the theme.

Goals include hosting major water sport competitions and the opening of a water park hotel.
