Seattle earned the fourth-highest ranking in a new Oxford Economics 2026 Global Cities Index, trailing only New York, London and Paris. Here’s how the Emerald City pulled off the feat.
But, of course as we all know, Seattle Is Dying
“Seattle’s economic strength propels it to the fourth spot of our 2026 Global Cities Index,” the report noted. “This is largely thanks to the city’s major tech sector—home to both Microsoft and Amazon—which rivals those of any other city in the world. The metro also boasts major players in other industries such as aerospace (Boeing) and is home to major retail headquarters (Starbucks, Costco, and Nordstrom). This range of large employers gives the city one of the highest levels of GDP per person in our index and a healthy economic diversity measure.”
Love to all my Seattle people. I do kinda hope the rich people leave tho
Love to all our Seattleites in exile
Self-imposed, had to make room for a Californian 😉
Much appreciated – I hated living in the Central Valley 🤣
The funniest thing about my joke is that I didn’t even know you were from there LMFAO
It’s all good, my wife’s from the east bay.
I’m assuming that Oxford is perpetually number one
