I agree with JC, a basement antenna will be quite limited by building penetration losses and reflections. An outdoor antenna would be a superior solution.
The Queen Anne and Capitol Hill stations will be line of site and very strong. With the gain offered by an HD7694P, you may find that you need an attenuator. Still, I would go with the suggested antenna because it gives you a chance at KCPQ-13 (Fox) and the antenna is directional enough to aim away from the Capitol Hill towers thus reducing the power level a bit. (You will not need or want an amplifier... which would certainly overload.)
If you experiment with aim between 240° and 290° per your compass, you may even get lucky and see one or more of the stations on West Tiger. The ION affiliate, KWPX-33 is powerful enough to make it in the back side of the HD7694P.
