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

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.

The Columbia River is by far the longest and largest, being the fourth largest river in the North America. It has many major rivers that contribute to is, such as the Yakima River and Snake River (much of which is in Idaho), but its two largest tributaries are not in Washington, but rather Oregon and British Columbia.

Mt. Rainier is probably the most obvious feature. It is a large, geologically active volcano, and is admired from many vantage points in the state for its beauty. Some might argue that Mt. St. Helens is equally importnat - it did erupt in 1982, spewing volcanic ash for miles around.

There is no 'legal' age to babysit in most states, including Montana. Most authorities would say that a 12 to 13 year old can be left alone for a couple of hours during the day. Their ability to watch another child is more limited.

However, leaving a child in a car is never considered a safe thing to do.
