I know Seattle has mushroomed since I left the Pacific Northwest in 1990. The city that was once America's best-kept secret has become a sprawling center of urban chic.But have living conditions there really gone downhill?
"The top five cities in the Americas were:
Vancouver (3rd)
Toronto (15th)
Ottawa (tied for 18th)
Montreal (22nd)
Calgary (24th)
The lowest ranking Americas city in the top 50 was Seattle (tied for 49th)"
All right, Seattle is still in the Top 50 of the Mercer Human Resource Consulting Worldwide Quality of Living Survey.
But it ranks after those "real" big cities, the East Coast ones: Boston, New York City, and Washington D.C..
How can this be?

My SIL lives in Bellevue. They swear it's the best place in the world to live.
I always thought the "Great Pacific Northwest" was about the greatest place in the world...along with France of course...so this survey surprised me.
