Seattle may get a lot of flak from the rest of the country about our cloudy days and endless rain, but according to one moving company’s statistics, we’re one of the top cities to which people are flocking.
Penske Truck Rentals says that the most popular destinations are sunny, and it’s true. The top 3 destinations are known for supplying residents and visitors with plenty of vitamin D. Phoenix and Orlando fall just behind Atlanta, which is the number one moved-to destination for the second year in a row.
Seattle isn’t alone up north however, a few other chilly cities are growing, according to Penske, including Chicago and Denver.
Overall, Seattle was ranked the eighth most moved-to destination. Of course, data was limited to those that used a Penske truck to get to the Emerald City. Planes, trains, and automobiles may show different records.
Penske never says why folks are migrating to the Northwest, but we can bet it has something to do with jobs at Boeing, Microsoft and enjoying the great outdoors.
With so many new faces, it might be time to fight the Seattle Freeze and welcome a new neighbor.
