Go to the link I included as my source. It shows you the geography. Also, I'm not just talking about downtown. I'm including all the near-to-downtown neighborhoods that are predominantly urban. Not Belleview or Redmond or Tacoma, though. Only things within the City of Seattle.

For the record: I have lived in Denver, and I definitely believe the numbers. Seattle feels *way* bigger.
