I was doing some browsing for other 98103 related blogs and came across this article in the PI archives from September. With all the talk about the ever growing obesity rate across the country, the residents of 98103 can be proud that we are the thinnest zip code in the Seattle area. According to the article, a lot of it has to do with the close proximity of fresh markets and the availability of fruits and veggies. Central Seattle and Bellevue are under 10% obesity rate, while residents of south Seattle are over 20%. Burien, Kent, Renton, and Federal Way zips all check in with over 25% obesity rate. Check out the map to see info on the whole area.
