50,000 employees +wives & kids. You have to consider each employee as 4 people.
I can tell you what increasing a population by 1/4 to 1/3 can do.
You will have not enough housing, overcrowded schools, massive rent jumps, property tax increases, overflowing street, more crime, shall I continue?

The majority wouldn't be living in Seattle itself, but rather the metro area which has 4 million people.
