come on man

*$800 Rent until July 2021*. After july the regular every month rent will be $1250.

Even at $1250, still doable on minimum wage ($12/hour in Seattle...actually they raised again to now $16.39) with enough left over for the rest of living expenses to live in the most expensive city in the USA. Certainly not the $21.56/hour=43k a year your figure quotes needed to live just in Washington State. Your figure gives a value of about double what you need to live a life with modern amenities.

Seattle is one of the places federal minimum wage may not be quite that smooth because it's one of the most expensive cities in the USA. But also with about 20 seconds of effort I was able to cut expenses by half from the graphic. Anyone could cut down living expenses to federal minimum wage especially once you include a roommate in Seattle one of the most expensive cities in the USA...so it's certainly pretty easy when you aren't in one of those cities.
