Savannah is laid out on a grid pattern. It's very walkable but I'd advise against doing so in mid-July unless you enjoy sweating profusely.
I'd disqualify Baltimore simply due to the fact that there are some pretty scary parts of town within a couple minutes walk from the harbor.
Philly and DC are pretty walkable but I give the edge to DC. Ive walked from Bethesda to Georgetown and have walked from the Nats stadium to my apartment in Arlington. I probably should explore Philly more though before I make the call.

IMO, Philadelphia is more walkable than DC because the latter lacks a true urban core and is more nodally structured. DC has a lot of walkable areas but they arent seamlessly connected as they are in Philly.
Next time you're in Philly, you should walk along Walnut from Front Street to 40th. There really isn't any walk like that in DC.
I've heard it stated that Savannah's squares make its downtown more urban and walkable than the downtowns of the other cities on this list, so I'm just curious to hear what others think.

Haha that's laughable. Pretty much every city's downtown is grid patterned with sidewalks.
