South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, Fremont?

NE side of Capitol Hill if you go there. If you’re 34 and want safe, Fremont might be better. Can also walk to Ballard and Wallingford. But still close to downtown and Capitol Hill.

Sorry, I think SLU is lame. Great boutique fitness, though! Id recommend Capitol Hill.

Westlake / SLU & most portions of Ballard.

Ballard

Belltown and South Lake Union are walkable in certain respects, and when I lived in Belltown a long time ago I did like that I could walk downtown and shop. But one thing both those areas are harder for in walkability is quick runs to the grocery store. Ballard is way better for that, and Fremont has PCC. Ballard also has a lot of walkable breweries, along with restaurants, bars, and local shops.
Tangletown area of Green Lake is walkable - both that area and Wallingford, but it's more residential.
There is a lot going on in Capitol Hill, but I would spend some time there before deciding to move there.

If you just need it for August, let me know. I’m moving in with a roommate and my current lease has some overlap in August. I’m in SLU.
