Alaska has been named the happiest and healthiest state in the nation. In 2013, the Last Frontier state held the eighth position on the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. One year later, the state climbed to the top of the list for the first time since 2008.
To compile the list, researchers interviewed 176,000 United States residents. Each participant was asked to rate their happiness and health on a scale of 0 to 100. The categories include social life, financial stability, physical well-being, community involvement, and purpose in life.

Furthest away from Wash. D.C.?
I see we both went to the same thought upon reading the headline. I can’t stand to watch the Alaska State Troopers show and the railroad show is not far behind.
For Alaska, I think the weather provides a “culling effect”. And wouldn’t Hawaii be farther from DC than the inhabited portion of Alaska?
Don’t ask the road signs how they feel about Alaskans...
Got it in one.
Wouldn’t they be pretty happy living in Hawaii?
It’s great out here!
Looks like most of the South sucks.... i could have told them that. During my trip home to Wyoming all the people staying there were from the South.
I've heard anyone can get leied there.
That would do me a whorl of good!

Minnesota no longer in the top 10 any more...thanks “MNSURE”
Are all Wyoming natives as bigoted & ignorant as you are? Alabama & Florida have the most beautiful beaches in the US. Wyoming has....nothing.
Nothing...except southern looking for an escape from the South.
You’re funny. If i wanted to “escape”, Wyoming would be the last place I would go..
No zombies and now this?
GO ALASKA!!!
Excellent!!!
It is true about Alaska
My uncle once told me about family villagers stick together and stuff thick and thin
