Least homeless place to stay in Seattle?

Take the ferry over to Bremerton (or Bainbridge Island if you want to spend more).  Less than $10pp and you only pay one way.  Bremerton homeless are mostly across the bridge well into EAST Bremerton.  The ferry area is next door to a military base and safe.  It's an hour crossing (less if you take the foot ferry) and both Hampton Inn and Fairfield Inn are within a couple hundred yards of the ferry terminal.  It's a far cheaper rate and you also miss out on Seattle taxes.  A couple of decent, less expensive restaurants, too, and an interesting free Navy museum.  Then catch a $20 cab ride to the cruise terminal.

 

After having a bag of poop tossed at me for not giving cash, we don't stay in Seattle if we can avoid it.  Plus, the stench of weed and old urine is disgusting.

I am older, widowed, and travel solo a lot.  I have found that for Seattle, I stay at the Sheraton or Hilton and book tours.  I feel a lot safer traveling with a group.  I was scared to death on my last trip with a homeless or whatever screaming in my ear for two blocks even following me across the street.  Viator has quite a few tours that have hotel pickup or use a quick Uber ride to pickup point.

These are tour companies I have used a couple times and would recommend.

If I have only a day pre-cruise, I stay at Cedarbrook Lodge near the airport. Really nice accommodations, peaceful, and great food.
