I would start from the recent closing middle, then adjust with purpose

If you are getting serious about selling in Seattle, WA, I would make one pricing decision first are you aligning with where homes just closed, or are you asking buyers to stretch? A typical sale over the previous 30 days was $830,000, and that is where I would begin the conversation.

The recent typical closed price in Seattle, WA was $830,000 over the previous 30 days, with a typical square-foot cost of $592. I would use those two numbers together before setting an asking price, because a headline price without a size comparison can hide a weak strategy. For sellers, this is where discipline pays off. The broader typical estimated value of $845,900 can support confidence, but I would still keep your actual list decision close to the closing evidence unless your home clearly offers more than what recent buyers already purchased in Seattle, WA. Pull your best sales first. Remove the outlier that flatters your expectations but does not really compare. Price for response, not just for attention.
