On foot
Seattle's downtown is quite compact and northwest-southeast streets can easily be walked. However, northeast-southwest streets can be extremely steep. When your feet are tired, hop onto the free Metro buses for a break.
By Public Transit
Downtown is the hub of Seattle's public transit system, and a variety of modes serve the district. Metro Transit (http://metro.kingcounty.gov/) serves downtown very well, and much of downtown is a ride-free area, so buses are free during the daytime. The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, a hub for many Metro bus routes, is within the ride-free area and runs the length of downtown Seattle from the King Street Station near Qwest Field and Safeco Field at the southern end and Westlake Center and the convention center at the northern end.
