- Seattle (80)

Seattle benefits from its strategic location as a gateway to Asia and its proximity to Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains. The city's economy is diverse, with strengths in industries such as technology, aerospace, healthcare, education, and maritime trade. Seattle is home to tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft, as well as numerous startups, research institutions, and healthcare facilities, driving innovation and job growth in key sectors.
Portland came in at number 26 and Eugene at 162 as the only two Oregon cities to make the top 250.
