(Online Dating Industry Journal) In a November 18, 2005 article on Bloomberg.com titled "Geeks, Single and Proud, Turn Seattle Into Online Dating Mecca", Seattle is brought to the forefront as the number one place in the U.S. to "hook up".
The growth of the singles scene in Seattle may, in large part, be due to online dating. The article states,
"Seattle is rapidly becoming the computer-assisted dating capital of the U.S. as chat boards and online services like Match.com help to transform local dating traditions. In the process, the city that has long had a reputation as being populated with computer geeks is turning into something of a singles paradise.
"The Web-based BestPlaces guide this month ranked Seattle the No. 1 place in the U.S. to ``hook up,'' based on 33 factors, including male-to-female parity, membership in online dating services and the number of coffee shops and dog parks in the city."
