CNN/Money Magazine published a list with the “smartest” US cities as measured by the percentage of the population with college degrees. While it’s not a perfect metric by a long shot, it is indicative of certain shared experiences and at least the ability to complete a degree program. Seattle tops the list with 52.7% of the population (age 25 and older) earning degrees.
Silicon Valley makes a good showing with all 3 major cities making the list. San Francisco weighs in at #2 (50.1%), San Jose at #15 (36.1%), and Oakland at #18 (33.8%.)

It is definitely a smart city. My IQ has raised at least 10 points in the week i’ve been here!
Michael – Is this the Michael Harding who attended TESC in Olympia, Wa during the 70’s. Did you know Emily Rodgers? I’m looking for a friend of mine. Did I find you?
Hi Barbara, I was in Olympia in the late 80’s – but not the 70’s, sorry.
