Spokane and Seattle are on opposite sides of the state - 280-300 miles apart. I don't get what you're trying to get at. The distance is large enough to go through multiple states on the east coast. I don't think it's really an apt comparison since the two are nothing like each other. You could make this same comparison in CA with a SF Bay Area salary and even less distance apart.

If their CoL weighting is applied at the state-level (for example if Washington residents are to be paid at 80% the effective SF salary), then this is the real arbitrage.
