KIRKLAND, WA

Kirkland’s dollars versus line count

Eighty thousand one hundred seventy-eight lines produce $29,377,579. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $366. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle keep separate Washington hubs. They are not inside $29,377,579 unless the filer typed KIRKLAND. King County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

One Eastside city, not the Eastside

Eastside is a regional label. FEC.gov stores a city field. This packet publishes KIRKLAND, WA only: $29,377,579 and 80,178 lines. Adding Redmond would be a recode.

State WA on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions

What is Kirkland’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city KIRKLAND, WA total $29,377,579 across 80,178 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Kirkland residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Kirkland’s 80,178 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 80,178 itemized lines for KIRKLAND, WA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $29,377,579. The mean near $366 follows from division.

Does Kirkland’s total include Redmond or Bellevue?

Only if the filer typed KIRKLAND. Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $29,377,579 is the KIRKLAND, WA match. The 80,178 lines follow the same rule. Eastside is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Kirkland facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $29,377,579 and 80,178 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Washington non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $366 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
