You will find gay men and women through out Seattle. It's a very gay-friendly, and accepting area. I wouldn't say that they congregate in Belltown though. Capital Hill is commonly known as the "gay neighborhood" - but I think that represents a time past. Most of the neighborhoods are well mixed and diverse, in that sense.

Belltown is typically young, late twenties, early thirties single people - lots of bars and restaurants.

I wouldn't consider it "arty".

Beltown is not a "gay area". You might find a few there but the overwhelming majority are straight IMO. It's more yuppy than artsy. If you want artsy go to Fremont.
