Seattle Recognized for Walkability
Seattle's the 8th most walkable city in the country, with a Walk Score of 70.8, based on an algorithm that incorporates walking routes, depth of choice, pedestrian friendliness, population and neighborhood data. According to Walk Score, a Redfin company, Seattle still falls behind leading cities such as NYC, S.F. and Boston, which are first through third, but ahead of Oakland and Baltimore in the top 10. Walkability's a key factor in attracting and keeping both companies and talented workers to a city. [Redfin]
