We wrote this page years ago. Please take it for what it is- largely, that is, a historical document of slight possible present utility. Seattle is a good city for restaurants. There are notable restaurants in all price ranges and for most major cuisines.
Seafood is a very good bet.
European restaurants are well represented, with Italian being particularly strong. There are a large number of Thai restaurants which are consistently good, and a smattering of Vietnamese restaurants. There are a number of good Japanese restaurants. Bus access to the University district is particularly easy. Street addresses in Seattle are potentially confusing.
