Thanks, folks! I was there for a week on business, but still managed to get around a bit and take some of my favorite photos ever. I was fortunate to get both a hotel room and an office above the 20th floor. It was a very skyscrapery business trip.

I had a hard time working sometimes, watching the rainclouds move in and out, and the mountains disappearing and reappearing.

What is that neighborhood like, is it as dense as it looks in these shots from Thundertubs?

That's Capitol Hill. Although you have to cross the chasm of I-5, it's a very easy walk form downtown. It felt like a pretty solid, complete, functional urban neighborhood. Pretty strong 20-something vibe.

I suppose I could search for it, but is there a map of the new streetcar line? I took the new light rail to and from the airport, which was pretty cool. Seattle seems ripe for more transit.
