I'm traveling to Seattle, should I rent a car or can I get by with public transportation?
I'll be doing mostly touristy things. Staying for five days and seeing the sights. Haven't booked a hotel but will mostly likely stay Downtown.

I definitely would get a car. Public transportation was pretty difficult the first time I went as a student with budgetary restrictions. I was also very touristy and realized that a lot of the locations aren't near each other and the public transportation isn't as reliable as it is in California. The second time I went to Seattle, I rented a car and the trip was 20 times better. Having the control with a car is crucial when you are staying for less than a week. Make the trip worth it and spend more time viewing locations rather than viewing for the next bus to come by.
Can you get by with public transportation? The answer is simply yes. If you decide to go this route, make sure you get your "pregame" on. This means find the sites you want to view, plan what you want to do each day, and organize the routes you need to take. If you are good at planning and know what you want to see, then public transportation can work for you. But if you are like me and get fascinated easily with certain things, the car becomes a unique luxury.
I hope you enjoy your trip!
