Seattle surpasses Austin as fastest growing big city

Austin will be the better city long-term. They're liberal, but they are a very watered down version of liberal compared to what you see in Seattle. If they start going the Seattle route, they're fricked.

It'll be interesting to see those numbers in a few years if the head tax sticks around.

Tacoma, where I live, is offering a $275 tax credit per employee. Coincidentally the same number as Seattle's head tax.

Hipsters count as 3/5 of a person.

The city is still blowing away the suburbs when it comes to growth. Last year, Seattle once again grew faster than surrounding King County

Interesting the city itself is growing fast, but not the suburbs. That’s what makes Seattle the fastest growing city.

Other cities like Nashville, DFW, Austin, Hou, etc. have suburbs exploding and outpacing the big city. Seattle area isn’t growing nearly as much as other areas.

True for some of the suburbs but the metro is ranked 2nd fastest growing in the US and Tacoma (not really a suburb) is the 10th fastest growing. LINK

Monroe is #11

surprised D is 2 and FW is 4

would have thought the spread between the 2 is wider but it is % not counts

seems like the Dallas metro is going to reach OK a lot sooner

That is only a mild exaggeration

7 out of 10 in south or Texas?

That’s surprising

The DNT will start at the OKie border soon
