According to their website (https://www.seattle.gov/police/police-jobs/salary-and-benefi...) the starting pay is about 84k, but does go up to six figures after a few years. Alternatively, you could go to a nearby town like Bellevue and make a few thousand less, but the job would be much safer and more pleasant https://bellevuewa.gov/city-government/departments/police/ab...

Also, the work involves evenings, nights, weekends, holidays, and dealing with mentally ill, drunk, and high people. And you have to sit around a lot in a car and drive.

Personally, I would want at least double. Especially because of the shitty work schedule.
