Seattle named #3 Most Sustainable City by Sustain Lane


This is the 3rd year Sustain Lane has put out a list of “Green Cities”, ranking cities based on policy, innovation, economy and affordability, and even air and water quality. Each city is ranked in 16 categories, which then combine to make up that city’s sustainability level. Seattle’s City Chart is at left. Portland, OR was ranked #1 this year, Seattle ranked #1 in 2006. The study ranks 50 cities.

You can read more about the study methodology, learn “What is sustainability?” if this is something that still confuses you (there so much media use of this word, sometimes it can lose meaning altogether), and peruse a LOT of great information about the cities themselves and the ranking categories. A very educational site!
