it pretty definitively refutes the hypothesis that raising the minimum wage to $15 would dramatically increase unemployment

How so, if Seattle doesn't have a $15/h minimum wage? It'll only take effect in 2017, and even then, only for large employers that don't pay medical benefits. Under this law, the $15 wage will only be universal in 2021: http://murray.seattle.gov/minimumwage/
