~8 hours and 15 minutes of work, 5 days a week.

~$50k a year.

Where I live, that'd be similar to getting paid ~$75 to 80k a year in the Bay Area.

In the bay area that is considered pretty low unless it's a startup with significant equity.

On the contrary, that's right in line with what I've seen as entry level salaries for college grads (not Stanford grads) in the Bay Area.

It is hard to agree with you. 85K is actually a lot in my co-ordinates of the bay area [0].

H1B salary data is public so it's probably provides the most reliable source of data for larger companies.

Is the cost of living in Seattle high? How much is the take-home post-taxes, etc.

This may vary quite a lot considering experience.
