I’ve lived in Seattle for 30 years and I do endorse that location. I have been lurking on your other thread and recognize that people with different life philosophies and perspectives may disagree. If you want a lively city location with restaurants, then yes. If you want a pristine suburban location, then go to Lynnwood.

thanks! I live in a big city so I am aware lots of people have different views about different areas and their safety. It will be my husband and me and unless it’s a high crime area I think we would be ok.
We like to be able to walk to restaurants in the evening and have public transportation to get around. Appreciate your thoughts.

Looks like it's on the "Pike/Pine Corridor"? Hard to tell exactly on the map which street it's facing. Basically that's a hipster neighborhood. Bars, restaurants, bookstores, thrift stores, etc. Would be a little too busy for me, quite densely populared area... but probably OK for a vacation stay. I'm just not a fan of the area around Cal Anderson parks (where the protests happened back when). I don't think it's dangerous but I'd be more careful there after dark, than I would say somewhere up around Volunteer Park instead.
