Beware, though; the downtown area is super walkable for a reason: traffic downtown is especially horrible. However, the area is generally navigable by public transit, especially the Lightrail North and South, Seattle's answer to a subway system. The walkability and central location come with a hefty price tag on apartments—it's pretty expensive, so good luck trying to afford this neighborhood.
