Compared to most cities in the US, these three actually are pretty good. They're not that diverse (at least not based on skin color alone), but what they have is pretty well integrated.

Seattle also then checks the boxes for the other points above. It's the most interesting, cosmopolitan of the 3.

You mentioned interracial dating- integration...what race are you?
I'm Black and Choctaw (Native American). My child will be Black, Choctaw, and Caucasian.

Which one has less of a mosquito problem? lol

I've visited Seattle for a whole summer and was put off by the sheer amount of mosquitoes on the U-Dub campus...never visited Denver during the summer, and I've never been to Minneapolis, so I'm not sure about those two. Hmm...

That's actually odd. For mosquitos to be around, there needs to be a still water environment, which isn't exactly plentiful in that area. Seattle actually doesn't have that much of a mosquito problem, I can go for years without a bite.

Out of all 3, Denver would have the least amount of mosquitoes around.

Denver might have the least Mosquitos out of the 3. I mean, Seattle's next to water and Minneapolis is pretty humid. Both attract those type of bugs.

Lol Ive lived in Seattle all my life and never seen mosquitoes except in the wooded parks and rarely. The thing is mosquitoe season is durring the summer and those are the driest months of the year for seattle last year we had we had 88 days of no rain and sunshine in july august and sept. And water does not attract mosquitoes its standing water. Theres no mosquitoes coming out of the pugetsound it actualy prevents them because they dont live in salt water or waves.

Seattle is closest to salt water beaches there in city , And Seattle is closest to mountain recreation Seattle is only 30 miles from the Summit At Snoqualmie ski resort. And Denver is 67 miles from Winter Park. Seattles Downtown really shines as being urban and a shopping destination with multiple department stores and many flagship stores. While Minneapolis and Denver try to find there groove Seattle Blossoms with billions of dollars in construction downtown. New Anchor stores currently under construction downtown are Zara second largest flagship in USA after NY, Three story TJ Max, H MART are being added to the area of the recently opened City Target. As interracial dating goes its very common in Seattle . Its a city of many colors but people tend to be color blind . When I was married I was married to an Amercian Indian, More recently Ive been in relationships with a Korean Girl, And an African American Girl both a couple of years but realy i dont look at race andIve never felt any vibe in Seattle Metro where interacial dating insn't the norm. Ive never in my life have dated a white person and im white.

You know that Target is headquartered in Minneapolis and they've had a location on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis for years? Mpls and Denver have similar amenities on Nicollet and 16th St, respectively. Seattle might have a small edge, but the others are doing just fine, not "trying to find their groove."

Seattle has a clear edge in downtown retail. And Nicollet mall has a clear edge over the 16th st mall, at least in terms of retail. Not to mention the fact that downtown Minneapolis is struggling to retain stores and Denver doesn't really have much of anything downtown, being concentrated in cherry creek.
