Need help finding right answer!
Edmonton Airport has a contest. Hoping my neighbors south can help me finding the answer.
The question is: What is the most literated city in the US?
This city has the most bookstores and libraries per capita, and the most library card holders to check them out.

All I know is Portland, OR has one of the largest bookstores. You must check out Powell's if you're ever in the City of Roses.

Well, there's this:
The world's cities with the most bookstores and libraries per capita
which would say New York City, but I think that given the source of the data it's essentially meaningless. First match in Google search fails again. 
Also,

The answers to this contest will always be one of the places you can reach non-stop from Edmonton. For a list of our 60 non-stop destinations, visit flyeia.com/nonstop.

Only 11 of those in the U.S. 
Given today's other clue, the answer is Seattle (which isn't even on the first list that I linked).

They just released a second clue: Might be the only city that can claim to be built on top of another city. After the great fire of 1889, citizens raised the street level and started over - you can tour parts of the old city thanks to the city's underground tour.
Seattle it is??

Malibu RV Park
Enjoyed Ocean View at Malibu RV Park as we work our way up the California Coastline. We received the long awaited rains and enjoy listening to the rain on the rooftop as we sleep comfortably in our trailer!

 at San Elijo State Beach. We backed up close to the fence so people wouldn't cut through our campground. Now when sitting in our dinette you feel like the ocean surrounds you. Awesome!

San Elijo is our favorite park in that area. We had a site twice at the top hanging off a 100 foot cliff overlooking the ocean. The only problem is that it is almost impossible to make reservations or get in the place for an extended stay with the CA reservations system.

We're here for 5 weeknights. You're right though weekends are nearly impossible. But I don't feel we're missing too much because when we got here on Sunday afternoon it was crazy hectic with locals.
