A new study says think again.According to the Milken Institute’s Best Performing Cities Index, Seattle is 17th out of the country’s 200 biggest American metro areas in creating and sustaining jobs and economic growth. Making it second behind Olympia (7th) with Tacoma (21st) and Spokane (41st) rounding out the state’s four entries.Best Of lists are usually based on the kind of pseudoscience normally found in a Lyndon Larouche pamphlet. In other words, it’s your duty to be skeptical of them. But any run-down that puts Flint and Detroit, Michigan dead last has to be doing something right. Sorry Seattle. Looks like the capitol gets bragging rights for now.
