Were your feelers all in Denver? Denver seems to have surprisingly low salaries, especially when accounting for the housing boom of the past 5-6 years.

Denver seems to pay very low, considering the cost of living these days. I think they refer to it as the "Denver Discount"

What would be considered surprisingly low? A level 3 software engineer making $100K? Genuinely curious.

That seems absurdly low. For reference, I work for a major ISP and we pay our new college grads between $85-110K across our regions of operations.

110k nationwide is pretty good. In seattle we pay at least 120k for new college hires.
