Well it all depends on how much you want to spend on housing and how much time you want to spend in traffic. If I were 22 again and didn't want to live in an over priced tower next to work, I think I would move to Greenlake area or lower Queen Anne. Mainly for the open parks and easy public transportation with a short commute. West Seattle is great but a bit of a hassle with traffic. Your going to find it all depends on how much space you need. The closer to Amazon the more tighter the space. Capitol hill still is funky but to crowded for me. Good luck!
