Geek on, Seattle

The lovely city of Seattle has once again been ranked as the #1 most literate city in America. Apparently, this ranking is decided by newspaper circulation, the number of bookstores and libraries, educational attainment, and "Internet resources" (whatever that means). I don't think we can get too snooty about this assessment, though. It rains here, like, six months a year. What else are we supposed to do?
