Seattle is the 3rd fastest-growing city in America

Calling all transplants and locals alike, you might be shocked to learn (kidding) that Seattle is the third fastest-growing large city in America.

I mean, I could have told you that, but Wallethub beat me to it apparently! To determine the fastest-growing cities WalletHub compared 515 U.S. cities across 17 key metrics. The data set ranges from population growth to college-educated population growth to unemployment rate decrease.

Here's how Seattle stacked up:

• 48th – Job Growth
• 123rd – Regional GDP Growth
• 221st – Growth in Number of Businesses
• 34th – Working-Age Population Growth
