I can only find two Seattle Census tracts with population densities in excess of 40,000 ppsm--both in Capitol Hill.

You can take significant sections of Capitol Hill and Pike/Pine and place it in San Francisco without a noticeable dropoff in urbanism. Of course, Seattle will never have the vastness of San Francisco's version of it nor have SF's highest densities, zoning will largely not permit it from what I've seen, but Seattle should have several nodes of typical SF like midrise density. Plus a few significant highrise residential sections in Belltown, Denny Triangle, First Hill, and even more in the DT core.

San Francisco is probably a poor comparison point for Seattle as it densifies.
