The Pacific Northwest is home to the smartest city in the U.S.
Seattle, Washington, has been named most literate city by Jack Miller, President of Central Connecticut State University.
Miller’s research focused on newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment and internet resources.
Rounding out the top five were Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Atlanta and Boston.
In 2007, Portland did not make the top 10, but finished 10th in 2008 and sixth in the 2009 study.
