I just noticed this thread.
I lived on Queen Anne, at 1st Ave. No and Lee Street when Sleepless was filmed there. Christopher, I think you are right. The interiors were shot in Madison and some exterior porch shots of a lovely old home was in fact on QA. I think it was either on Nob Hill Ave or 4th (maybe Bigelow?) somewhere between Crockett and Galer. I do remember it was the corner house on the NW corner of the intersection, if that helps you in your hunt. Last time I was up on QA, that particular house was painted a medium blue. Beautiful house in a neighborhood of classic old homes. But it has been awhile, maybe a few years, so Chris has a point about the outside of the house looking different. But that is the area it was in. I remember the hoopla it created in the neighborhood. The crew was there for a while, but since it was all outside filming, there was lots to see for a few days. No star sightings though.
Edit: Might as well mention that once upon a time I worked at the Athenian Inn :). A really, really, looooooong time ago.
