Answer 1 :
Commuting to/from/within Seattle absolutely sucks. You need to live as close to campus as possible. You can catch a bus to just about anywhere at Montlake.
Answer 2 :
The U-District, where the UW is, would probably be best. Anywhere within Seattle will give you what you are looking for, but the U-District is catered to students at the UW.
Answer 3 :
Actually, the public transportation system is not that bad. When I was finishing my degree there in 2003-2004 I commuted from quite a long distance away (past Tacoma!) and, with the bus lanes the commute wasn't too bad. One of the great benefits of you being a UW student is that you will, every quarter, receive a reduced fare student sticker that you just throw on your student card. You just flash that at the bus driver or sound transit ticket-taker and it's good for King and Pierce counties on Metro (Seattle Transit) or Sound Transit express buses (they were excluding Snohomish county at that time). Every day you'll be able to enjoy one mountain range to the east and one to the west. To the south is beautiful Mt. Rainier. When you're stuck in traffic, the view will compensate and inspire you. On Capitol Hill in Seattle, you'll likely find the most young and vibrant people. Many single people live there and many people walk or take the numerous buses or trolleys in that area. Also, Capitol Hill has probably the most coffeeshops per square inch of anyplace around.
