Happy hour in downtown/belltown + best neighbourhood (if you have to pick one!!)

We are in Seattle next weekend for only 48 hours and staying at the Pan Pacific. We were going to do some restaurant/bar hopping in the downtown/belltown area on Friday night. We are also interested in learning more about happy hour and were thinking of hitting List or Branzino's. For dinner we are considering the Coterie Room, more because of the space than the food.
Any tips on happy hour?
Also, Capitol Hill, Fremont or Ballard on the Saturday for coffee/books/shopping. I'm leaning toward Fremont because it's closer than Ballard and seems to have a good mix of coffee/shopping/food all withing walking distance of each other.
We were going to go to Capitol Hill on the Saturday night but have been a bit put off by the block party. Quinn's is in the block party so we can't get there unless we buy tickets.
One last question - is it worth taking a taxi to Petit Toulouse? The idea of French/Cajun is very appealing.
Thanks very much!!

Eating well in downtown Seattle with a 3 year-old

We really enjoyed our meal, both the food and atmosphere and appreciated the attention to local ingredients and Pacific Northwest wines. It was great to have an adult meal with a happy and well fed three-year old. It was a while back so I can't recall all that we ate but we had the crab cakes and a fish entree and were pleased with that. Thank you!

Thanks, I was hoping to go there anyways. We'll aim for an early supper. Seafood is great and will enjoy eating it, we are fortunate to live on the coast and to be able to have it in our regular diet. Thanks again!

Eating well in downtown Seattle with a 3 year-old

Hi,
We are off to Seattle for three days with our three year-old daughter. Looking for good food options close to the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. We don't have a car so we must be able to walk or use transit. Up for anything really. Don't really need to try seafood as we get lots nearby in Victoria, BC where we live.
Any ideas please?
Thank you
