Seattle just ranked as one of the greenest cities in the nation to work in

Need some good news for hump day? We’ve got you covered. Our very own rainy city has made yet another ranking and this time for a good reason. What is Seattle known for being? Green, and now we’re being recognized for it.

A new study from Moneypenny analyzed and compared America’s 100 biggest cities to discover exactly which was the greenest place to work. Set factors for this ranking include things like air quality, number of parks, vegetarian restaurants, the average distance to work, and more. Seems like Seattle would pretty much ace those factors doesn’t it?
