🇺🇸 Where to live in Seattle

Seattle's residential areas split roughly between the dense core and the neighborhoods spread north and south of it. Downtown, Belltown and South Lake Union are tower-and-office territory, while Wallingford, Queen Anne and West Seattle are lower-built and quieter. Capitol Hill, the University District and Columbia City each run on their own kind of energy, whether nightlife, campus life or a historic main street.
