Seattle remains among top best cities for singles in U.S. | The Olympian

Olympia, WALocal News

Seattle has been ranked as the third-best city for singles in the U. S. by a recent Wallethub study that evaluated 182 cities on factors like dating opportunities and economic conditions. While Seattle previously held the top position in 2023, it has dropped due to a low ranking in the economics category, where it placed 173rd. Despite this, the city remains appealing for singles, boasting a high median household income of $83,247 for non-family households.

Other Washington cities, including Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver, were also featured in the rankings, highlighting a broader trend of dating opportunities in the region. Seattle's vibrant social scene, with its attractions and events, continues to provide venues for meeting new people, suggesting that the dating landscape may be more promising than the notion of the 'Seattle freeze' implies.
