Short of running the First Hill Streetcar on it's own dedicated right of way, the Seattle Department of Transportation has a few ideas for how to speed up service.

Stephen Fesler reports on potential changes to street configuration that will improve performance of the First Hill Streetcar in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is considering "new business access and transit (BAT) lanes on Broadway between Pine Street and Madison Street in the southbound direction" as well as new turn restrictions at various intersections along the road.
If you're noticing a similarity in the plan to the work on King Street in Toronto, you are not mistaken, though differences between the King Street streetcar success story and the plan under consideration in Seattle remain. Fesler details the differences in the source article.
