For a small island of 20,000 residents, which is only a 35 minute ferry ride to downtown Seattle, we have some of the best schools in the Country, as well as a fastastic lifestyle.

No big surprise, given the amount of companies that have already launched in the general area: Microsoft, Amazon, and Starbucks are just a few of our local startups! Seriously, Bellevue and Seattle's Eastside are terrific places to live and work. We are surrounded by natural beauty here, mild weather, hiking, boating, and skiing opportunities. We are surrounded by water as you can see from the map above. We have terrific theater, great restaurants, and interesting neighborhoods. I do have to wonder, though, when the study cites the sunny weather and the great commute! Sun is something we all adore because there are many so gray days and the commute is getting tougher. However, having lived in the Boston area for many years, I can attest to the fact that commuting in Beantown is far worse.

The reasons for the different top cities are totally diverse and there is no consistency. Some cities have millions of people while others have 10,000 people. I think they should have narrowed down the criteria a little. That list is wierd. The reasons for the different top cities are totally diverse and there is no consistency.
