The Aegis Company listed in the article is paying devs 55k a year in the seattle area.

I'm wondering if this is targeted at the places that seem to pay well under market rate.

According to OFLC, the entry-level prevailing wage for developers in the Bellevue area (where these developers work) is $39k. Paying $55k for a level 1 or 2 isn't unreasonable because it's more than the average pay of citizens in the area working the same job.
