I usually stay near Washington Circle and the George Washington University Medical Center.

Even though he stayed in an areas that is supposed to be not-so-great (Renoir Hotel, Mid-Market District) he had no problem walking around at night. I know there were several public transportation options available right at the hotel. It sounded like a great time, though I might try for a little more upscale neighborhood.

The Gaslamp District has moved beyond the seedy red-light/bar district and turned into a vibrant 24/7 live/work/play destination. The "Park at the Park" in front of Petco Park is a great family spot. Great boutique hotels, rooftop lounges, and Victorian structures. The TJ Trolley goes to Old Town as well as the border. The new Kids Museum is totally unique-changing interactive exhibits designed by contemporary artists.

As for that, if anyone wants to visit Seattle, let me know and I will find a way to help. But, back to the OP, I think WDW is so very wonderful, and I am glad that Donny is enjoying it so much, and has found a new "home away from home" if I may presume?

We stayed off of M Street, and it was a bit of a walk, but it didn't matter to us. Beautiful scenery.
