I wouldn’t say it’s unsafe. Normal street smarts and you’ll be fine. Might be noisy. Very convenient location.

You'd be fine. A 2-4 block walk to Jackson for Buses depending which way you want to go. Also area for LINK and Amtrak
How much, may I ask?
This is the lower end of Chinatown, which is rapidly being redeveloped to Commercial-Office-Residential. The Chinatown/ID skyline is changing* Because this is "Chinatown" there is the normal fireworks and dragon dances daytime, weekends. Inexpensive, Chinese food eats.
Your employer will/should give you a free ORCA Card (Bus/Link Pass), or minimally a greatly reduced Orca Card) which means that your public transportation costs should be negligible.
Try for 3-6 month a contract so that you can discover Seattle's options . Rents are stable to maybe falling.

The ID is an incomplete neighborhood. In another decade hopefully it'll fill in and be fairly cohesive. Currently there are too many underused lots and too many buildings with restaurants down below and nothing upstairs. But it's excellent for restaurants from several Asian countries. And very convenient to our best transit. I'd live there but not expect great urbanity.
