The heart of downtown, around Pike Place Market and the waterfront, is the most convenient first-trip base, walkable to the market, the shops, and the ferries, and connected to the airport by light rail.
Just north of downtown, Belltown is a walkable grid of restaurants, bars, and boutique hotels, still central but with more neighborhood life and nightlife.
Up the hill east of downtown, Capitol Hill is Seattle's hippest neighborhood, coffee, vintage shops, indie music, and the best nightlife, with a light-rail stop connecting it to the core.
From the piers, the new Overlook Walk, or a bench at Myrtle Edwards Park, it costs nothing, and it's the moment Seattle's mountains-meet-the-sea setting finally makes sense.
