Executive Editor JOEL KOTKIN on Seattle Weekly regarding Seattle

And while our neighbors to the south are consistently on the top of any list of the greenest cities in the country, Kotkin says that's a narrow way of defining "smart." Why? Because commuting to work by bike only does so much when you've got fewer jobs to commute to.
