Bianca St-Georges scored for the Royals in the 31st as the Canadian forward tapped in from close range after Ally Sentnor's strike rebounded off the post.
Ji got her second assist of the match when she slipped the ball to Adames in the 66th and the youngster found the corner with a swift left-footed shot from 12 yards to make it 3-1.
Adames converted a penalty kick in the 90th. She leads Seattle with four goals this season.
It was the first time the Reign scored four in a game since May 2023.
The Royals extended their winless streak to eight and remain in last place in the NWSL standings as the league heads into a monthlong break.
