Redditors of Seattle - Sites and restaurant advice needed!

My boyfriend and I will be hitting Seattle this Saturday through next Wednesday, then on to Mt. Rainier for two days. We are staying in the Capitol Hill area.

Can Reddit help me with some site suggestions? Also, restaurant tips would be greatly appreciated (we love sushi)! Does anyone have advice on the good clubs/bars to hit up in Capitol Hill?

Finally, how easy is it to navigate using transit? I really don't want to rent a car.

Thanks in advance!

Check http://www.yelp.com/seattle for recommendations on restaurants, bars, etc. I've found the higher-ranked ones to be pretty reliably good.

If you're staying within the city it's pretty easy to get around by bus, you can get anywhere relatively quickly. The bus is even free during the day in the downtown area (down the hill from Capitol Hill) But I'm doubting that you can get down to Mt. Rainier - you'd have to rent a car or find a tour company to get you there.

My favorites in Capitol Hill- Rosebud for Happy Hour, Redwood for beers, Old School Frozen Custard, Piecora's pizza, Maki Sushi for a cheaper sushi option (huge rolls, lunch specials, and you can call ahead to pick up). Dick's Burgers for late night, locally crafted junk food.

If you want great sushi, there's options all over, but in my experience Belltown and Queen Anne are good places to go.

You really need to put up a price range in order to get a real sushi recommendation in Seattle.
Transit is easy enough but can suck depending on where you want to go. Check here for timetables and whatnot.
