But what is REALLY the best neighborhood in Seattle?

Impossible question to answer. Depends on your personality and intrests, kids or no kids ect.Capital hill if you like a bit of a hipsters life great food options, shopping and short walk to downtown. Queen Anne if your looking for quiet and quaint yet still close to downtown. I'm personally a big fan of Freemont. I think it's the most versitile. Lots of options for physical activity, Burke Gilman Trail, paddle boarding, green lake, lots of shops restaurants ect. Us Seattlelites don't nessasarily hate snobs, we do however appreciate when they do us a favor and move over to Bellevue.
