Which are the top five wealthiest neighborhoods in Seattle or top five wealthiest cities in Washington?

Hi, I'm trying to plan a business and it would need a wealthy clientel to support it. So, I thought I'd start by following the money trail. Any suggestions appreciated.

Your wealthiest neighborhoods in the Seattle area aren't going to be in Seattle, but in the Eastside suburbs, i.e., Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, Hunts Point, Mercer Island, and Medina. Bill Gates, for example, lives in Medina.
