Men's Fitness magazine named Seattle America's fittest city for 2004, ahead of Honolulu, Colorado Springs, San Francisco and Denver. Houston was last on the list for the third time in four years.
One of the primary reasons Seattle was selected was that gyms and sporting goods stores outnumber fast food restaurants. In addition, 85% of residents get some exercise each month.
As a former Seattle resident, I can attest to the general health of the city. People participate in sports in Seattle more than in most cities in the country. If you've ever tried to take a walk around Green Lake on a sunny Saturday afternoon, you'll know just how many people enjoy their exercise in Seattle.
