"King County provides local and regional services to nearly 2.4 million residents, with a 2025 Proposed Budget of $10.2 billion and nearly 17,700 employees."[1]
Seattle's population is around 755,000. 755,000 / 2,400,000 ≈ 0.315. 10,200,000,000 * 0.315 = 3,213,000,000.
3.2 billion + 8.3 billion = 11.5 billion.
15 billion (San Francisco budget) - 11.5 billion (Seattle budget) = 3.5 billion.
So San Francisco's budget is around 3.5 billion dollars higher.
