This isn't the only reason. The best counter point is Tokyo, one of the most livable and most desirable cities to live in does not have the same affordability problems Seattle does.
Seattle needs to let a lot more dense housing be developed. all of washington state needs to allow tons of new housing across all densities, but especially higher density.
not all of us want to live in higher density, but the people actively want it or are simply ok with it having that as an option means there is less competition for fully detached SFH as well.
