$70k is severely underpaid for final comp. The OP said in a follow up comment that his total comp is close to $130k which is a very good wage.

Good wage, yes. But remember the median price of a home in Seattle is well over $500k. You're looking at something at least $600-700k+ to be in an area without a crazy commute or other problems. Most people I know that are just starting a family have homes over $1M. $130k doesn't go super far when housing is that expensive.

Agreed, that's way under market. At Intuit's San Diego office in 2013, we were hiring college graduate software engineers for $75k base. Add another 15-20% for total comp (bonus, RSU, ESPP).
