We are so smart. S. M. R. T.

I always knew Seattleites (and Seattle Bizniks in particular) had big bulging brains, but finally the world at large has figured it out too.

According to Bizjournals.com, Seattle is the smartest city in America. Fully 47 percent of Seattleites hold Bachelor’s degrees, the highest proportion of college-educated residents in any major city in the country and almost twice the U.S. average of 24.4 percent.

Add in the fact that in 2005 Men’s Fitness magazine named us the fittest city in the nation (in the 2006 survey we fell all the way to number 8. I blame cheese steaks from Philadelphia Fevre) and it seems pretty clear that we big-brained, hard-bodied Seattle ubermensch are uniquely positioned to take over the whole damned world.

So get to it, Bizniks, the pressure is ON.

    Well aren’t you all special :-)

    I tell you though, since interacting with folks on biznik, seattle is now on my list of places to move. Slightly behind sanfransisco, but up there :-)
