The Boston MSA is just shy of 50% college educated. Seattle is 44%. MSP is 43%. Given the much larger population of the Boston MSA, the talent pool is far larger than the other two. I think that’s a better demographic to look at than bickering about race. What matters is the talent pool to drive the economy. If you walk through any tech building or biotech building or university campus, it’s very multicultural.
Sometimes I try to make these threads to be relatively difficult to choose from but I didn’t expect it to be this much of a slam-dunk in Seattle’s favor. Looking back however I can see the reasons why.
Looks like the Twin Cities has a higher abundance of older architecture which is a given since they're Midwestern. One similarity the Twin Cities share more with Boston is the double and triple deckers.
A strong argument, and imo a wining one, could be made that Seattle is more similar to Boston than Minneapolis-St.Paul, so of course Minneapolis would be more similar to Seattle. The biggest commonality between Minneapolis and Boston would probably be hockey as those are the two cities that I think of in the US when I think of youth hockey participation.

Could be, but it's more suburban. Minneapolis is one of my favorite cities and a city that is underrated in most of the US, but maybe overrated on C-D in terms of how urban it is.

I think the vegetation and fauna are also more common between Minneapolis and Boston? You'd be much more likely to see a wild turkey in those than in Seattle (I think?).

I agree about the vegetation but I do believe that you can find wild turkey in Seattle liquor stores.

The core cities aren't suburban. At least compared to Seattle. I'm pretty sure the Twin Cities has a higher proportion of apartments to single family homes compared to Seattle. If anything, I would say Seattle is overrated and the Twin Cities are underrated in urbanity.
