This depends heavily on what part of Seattle you mean. I just moved out of Queen Anne, and it is still quite nice school wise compared to where I grew up. That said, main city of Seattle used to be basically the industrial zone. Bellevue and Redmond had the better schools even a decade ago. Such that I have a hard time following that. Happy to see hard data showing a decline. Even still, I meant my point to be what it has been like for most of the nation for a long time. Again, happy to see hard data showing Seattle proper has had a decline in school quality. Most anecdotes I've heard don't really support that.
