Seattle is actually quite sprawly already for how small it is, by European standards. Bellingham is 140km away, just not a commutable distance in general. Seattle has quite a lot of room to densify. Density could double, and it would still be less dense than Queens, NY, which still has plenty of homes with garages and yards.
