With a PoD anytime after 1785, how do we get Seattle to be one of the 5 largest cities in the US?
Bonus points for annexing Canada.

Massive Earthquake in California wipes out the other west coast cities.

Hollywood relocates, and growing tension with Japan causes US Pac Fleet to rebase to Seattle. Huge WPA investment in port facilities and rail connection. Explosive growth during WWII. People leery of California move to Seattle instead. Seattle annexes Bremerton and Tacoma.
This is your best bet. Remove California from the American sphere and you shift the US Pacific hub to the Oregon Country. Add in American expansion north into southern British Columbia and you can merge or at least remove the competition of Vancouver as a Canadian port.The US never obtains California, but manages to obtain the entire Oregon Country. In addition to being the hub of a larger unified Pacific Northwest, *Seattle would also be the only major West Coast port. The metro area would probably have a population of 10 milion+.
