When it comes to city management, Seattle currently ranks 118 out of the 150 largest cities in a new study compiled by WalletHub.
Tacoma is ranked even worse at 139.
The list was put together with a series of ratings including high school graduation rates, violent crime, green spaces, and median household income.
One of the main issues causing such a low ranking according to the study is the city budget, which is ranked as the 140th most expensive budget.
Seattle still ranks highly for services provided, at No. 18.
