I don't know where you got that, but I live in Seattle and I have heard nothing about this. Show us some evidence that this is true.

Seattle officials call for ban on 'potentially offensive' language
Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms "citizen" and "brown bag" are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.
KOMO-TV reports that the city's Office of Civil Rights instructed city workers in a recent internal memo to avoid using the words because some may find them offensive.
"Luckily, we've got options," Elliott Bronstein of the Office for Civil Rights wrote in the memo obtained by the station. "For 'citizens,' how about 'residents?'"
In an interview with Seattle's KIRO Radio, Bronstein said the term "brown bag" has been used historically as a way to judge skin color.
"For a lot of particularly African-American community members, the phrase brown bag does bring up associations with the past when a brown bag was actually used, I understand, to determine if people's skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or to come into a party that was being held in a private home," Bronstein said.
According to the memo, city employees should use the terms "lunch-and-learn" or "sack lunch" instead of "brown bag."
Bronstein told KIRO Radio the word "citizen" should be avoided because many people who live in Seattle are residents, not citizens.
"They are legal residents of the United States and they are residents of Seattle. They pay taxes and if we use a term like citizens in common use, then it doesn't include a lot of folks," Bronstein said.
Seattle, however, isn't the only city with an eye on potentially disruptive words.
The New York Post reported in March 2012 that the city’s Department of Education avoids references to words like “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests because they could evoke “unpleasant emotions” among the students.
Dinosaurs, for example, conjures the topic of evolution, which could rile fundamentalists and birthdays are not celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Halloween, meanwhile, suggests an affiliation to Paganism.
Officials said such exclusions are normal procedure, insisting it’s not censorship.
“This is standard language that has been used by test publishers for many years and allows our students to complete practice exams without distraction,” a Department of Education spokeswoman told the newspaper last year.

Everyone, please take careful note that "Bronstein" is a Jewish name.

Not really. There is a growing hard left wing and militant progressive movement underway up here and most mainstream centrist dems aren't part of it.
Having a sleepy and worthless leftist troll of a mayor is feeding the fire and the motherf**ker LOVES anarchists.

Well, hell, since we're all socialist now, could just start referring to everybody as 'comrade'.
In Europe, the words "mother" and "father" are considered offensive now, the first iteration of the Newspeak dictionary should be out anytime.

This could backfire on them. Seattle has several programs that give illegals preferential treatment. one of those was a "no ticket Latinos" program that told cops to ignore simple violations when the driver appeared to be Latino. They didn't want cops to find illegals so they ignored them.
Seattle was also at the vanguard of the "can't arrest Blacks more than their percentage of the population, regardless of the actual crime numbers" program. So what if a 16-24YO Black male is 7-8 times as likely to kill as a White male of the same age, it is RACIST to prosecute them as INDIVIDUALS!! these irregularities could be a wedge to get preferential treatment for illegals thrown out in court.
Nowhere is the "War on Whitey' as far along as here in the Pacific Northwest. the local paper gives out awards for companies that are 100% diverse while they ignore all minority on white killings.
Portland is embroiled in a case where a cabbie and two lesbians had a dispute. It turns out that the driver was a Muslim, according to other city's coverage but that fact never made it into the local paper. when muslims commit crimes the local media misses them entirely.

Don't be ashamed, there is still quite an aggressive conservative under current here that will not die, ever. Gun control for instance is a political death sentence, even in die hard leftist Seattle.
If mayor Mc Schwinn is any indication, the progressive left up here has hit the bottom of the barrel....and hard. F**k, he's way more of an imbecile in public than even Bushie JR was!

Pretty much covers my opinion, so they can all just flip when I still call these a**holes that, and a hell of a lot worse, because it is TRUE.

I have a sticker on my car that reads, "POLITICALLY INCORRECT, AND PROUD OF IT". Yeah, there are a lot of us up here that are as disgusted as it gets with this PC CRAP. We are still sane, and FAIR enough to just call things what they ARE without all the fancy lies to pretty it up enough for the losers and their frail egos and guilty consciences. But, I do miss the good old days. When I was in my teens, and the scum would crawl into Eastern Washington towns looking to work the harvests, they would frequently have their asses handed to them, and be run out of town licking their wounds, literally. THAT is what I call an affirmative act!
