I think median salary for full time employment in Seattle is surely below 100k and yet people live there somehow. 4x of median should be great, no?

A quick google search shows that median income seems well above 100k

Household slightly above, however levels.fyi is about individual compensation.

Not everyone is an individual. Does that take into account a family that they might be supporting?

I am not the only one that thinks Seattle is expensive - not sure why you are so adamant it is not.
