The good for economy of the area is that the port is thriving now and more development is happening. A new cruise ship terminal is being built (fast I may add) that will handle the passing cruise ships as a port of call. That alone will bring more people into the area which should help the local economy with increased foot traffic. The huge freight crane looks done and will allow cargo to be dropped off right at the port vs further north. I keep hearing the local realtors as well as merchants that things should be improving. So am optimistic about the area overall. I will say from a personal opinion, I like the port just the way it was. Distant cruise ships docking at their slips across the port and little sign of industry other than the gas tanks. Now it will be much more built up and more industrial so some of the old town feel will be lost. I do see prices in real estate on the rise in most areas. When that happens, it usually means the economy is picking up.
Definitely a lot going on down there

The top 6 were Washington, San Francisco, Detroit, Wichita, Seattle and San Jose.
