D]Wasn't this question just asked a week or so ago? Go to http://transit.metrokc.gov/ to see what the bus system will do for you. Downtown is a free zone.

You asked about hotels and sites before. Whether you rent a car in Seattle depends on what you want to do and where you stay. I suggested you try to stay in Lake Union with Priceline and rent a car, because riding the buses everywhere with a kid can be a bit of a pain. You can still ride the buses downtown from Lake Union then take the car further afield if you wish.
Or, if you want to stay entirely downtown, try to get a hotel there and walk or use the bus, assuming you and your wife are comfortable porting your 8-month old around on a bus. Seattle's bus system is decent. A big part of the downtown core has a "Ride Free" zone that ends at 7PM.

If your hotel is downtown, go with public transportation. If you are out in the suburbs, get a car. Do you plan to do any traveling out of the city? Boeing plant in Everett? You could either do tours or get a car.

If your hotel is also downtown, you will be fine with the busses. The whole downtown area is a "ride free" zone, so you can just get on and off without a pass or paying cash. The busses are very safe for you and your family, although very late at night (when you won't be on them anyway) they can feel a little less so.
