Forget Saint Patrick's Day — Mayor Ed Murray has a better idea for what we should celebrate tomorrow. In a press release this morning, Murray proclaimed Tuesday as "Seattle Film Day." The announcement comes with Murray's vocal support of Senate Bill 6027, which would increase funding for the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program to increase film production throughout the state.

Murray pointed out that "Washington's current incentive program is the fifth smallest in the country" and outlined the need to "fuel our creative economy" here in Seattle through increasing "film industry talent." Murray's rhetoric follows in the footsteps of mayors across the country wanting to attract, in the words of well-known urbanist Richard Florida, a more "creative class" to their cities.
