While I don't live in Seattle itself, I am in the general area and have frequently seen discussions come up about tenants issues on local forums. Quite a few locals have recommended the Washington Tenants Union as a helpful starting place for answering questions and figuring out how to address issues, including determining if all of the changes your landlord has been making are legal:
https://tenantsunion.org/rights
Without yet taking the time to review all the details you have posted, although the magnitude of the rent increase (from $1100 to $2900?) is truly ridiculous, it sounds like they are providing the required 6 month notice for raising your rent.
Review their resources, and consider talking to one of their advisors if you still have unanswered questions.
Overall, it sounds like it is probably time to start shopping around.
