interesting that Seattle isn't anywhere to be found. I've always "felt" that the PNW had less old money. Anyone wanna feed my confirmation bias some more?

Eh, I'm not sure I would read into this as "Seattle is super egalitarian". Microsoft has made a lot of people (relatively) extremely wealthy, as has Amazon.

Seattle's probably catching up quickly to some of the cities on this list. Washington is just a much younger state.

Not really what im getting at. The pnw was developed later so I'd expect it to have less old money -- look at Oregon. The tech industry has certainly done a lot for the upper middle class in Seattle but the article is talking about people making 400k+ a year..
