Belltown:

Belltown is the most densely populated neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. Belltown is located on the city's downtown waterfront on land that was artificially flattened as part of a re-grading project. Formerly a semi-industrial arts district, in recent decades it has transformed into a neighborhood of trendy restaurants, boutiques, nightclubs, and residential towers as well as art galleries. The area is named after William Nathaniel Bell, on whose land claim the neighborhood was built.

Belltown is home to the Art Institute of Seattle, Antioch University, Argosy University, the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and RealNetworks Headquarters. It lies directly west of the Denny Triangle neighborhood, where online retailer Amazon is constructing three office towers to house its downtown headquarters, and where the Cornish College of the Arts is located.

In 2007, CNNMoney named Belltown the best place to retire in the Seattle metro area, calling it "a walkable neighborhood with everything you need.”
