Is Seattle the most suicidal city?

Does Seattle have a high suicide rate? Please read the following:

The question does not make sense because the concept of "high suicide rate" is not defined in this question. A better question would be "Why does Seattle have the suicide rate that it does?" Continue reading to formulate an even better question as stated below.

The way the question is worded is based on a fallacy called "Baiting the Question" where a question is asked based on an assumption (Seattle has a High Suicide rate) that isn't proven or who's basis isn't defined (QED a "high" suicide rate.) it is also noted that all Cities have suicides, and thus have suicide rates. The question is worded such that it "baits" the reader into a discussion of high suicides rates in Seattle without acknowledging that "high" is defined.

Compared to at least 15 other US cities, Seattle's suicide rate is lower. Those cities are as follows, with the reference listed:

15. Tulsa

14. Phoenix

13. Fresno

12. Portland

11. Pittsburgh

10. Wichita

9. Jacksonville

8. Denver

7. Miami

6. Mesa

5. Albuquerque

4. Sacramanto

3. Tucson

2. Colorado Springs

1. Las Vegas

ref: http://www.businessinsider.com/most-suicidal-us-cities-2011-7?op=1

Thus, each of the cities above has a higher suicide rate than does Seattle. Of course this list changes a bit from year to year; however, it is doubtful that Seattle is in the top 15 from year to year.

Now, if you reword the question by saying "why does Phoenix have a higher suicide rate than does Seattle?" or "why does Miami have a higher suicide rate than does Seattle?" you place the question more in perspective.
