Seattle most literate US city: study

Seattle, the west coast haven of coffee, culture and the Arts has been named America’s most literate city. A study put Seattle directly ahead of Minneapolis, Washington D.C., Atlanta and San Francisco in terms of literacy, which researchers said was critical to a city’s long term economic and social success.

Researchers at Central Connecticut State University surveyed the literacy of 69 of America’s largest cities in terms of newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment and internet use. AP Has More.
