Of the cities I’ve posted data for, if we limit it to anchors of major metro areas, Seattle is barely ahead of San Francisco (not outside of the error, by the way, so we can’t say for certain Seattle is
truly more left) and both are ahead of Portland in the data outside of the margin of error.
However, if you broaden what you’re looking at to, say, a weighted average of all counties (they supply data for counties as well) in a metro area, I am gonna go out on a limb and say that it’d be San Francisco > Portland > Seattle.
Broadly speaking, though, there are only six major urban cities and environs in which the average person is actually leftist: those three, plus D.C., Minneapolis, and Boston.
New York, Chicago, et al. are a notch less left and even places like Austin are comparatively conservative.
