SEATTLE, WA
Seattle, WA is the contributor city on $327,126,798 in federal receipts spread over 1,120,706 FEC itemizations. LobbyVault pulls those lines from FEC.gov and groups them by city and state. The line count is large relative to the dollar total, which usually means many separate receipts rather than a thin stack of oversized transfers. The city string is still an address field, not a residency test. Those two FEC.gov facts—$327,126,798 and 1,120,706 itemizations—are the entire numeric claim this Seattle guide makes.
Key figures
- Seattle, WA contributor-city receipts total $327,126,798.
- Those dollars sit on 1,120,706 FEC itemizations.
- Eastside city strings are stored separately and are not merged here.
- PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
- ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.
More than a million lines behind $327 million
Seattle shows 1,120,706 itemizations behind $327,126,798. That mix is the opposite of a city hub driven by a few huge committee transfers. Many of the lines will be modest individual receipts that happen to share the Seattle city field. Committee receipts that list a Seattle address still sit in the same column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars.
Bellevue, Redmond, and other Eastside labels are stored as their own city strings. They are not folded into this total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $327,126,798 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Seattle residents gave. The 1,120,706 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.
Nothing on this page estimates how Seattle voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Seattle city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $327,126,798 and 1,120,706 itemizations.
How FEC city text splits Puget Sound
Committees type the city as it appears on the contributor record. A workplace in Seattle and a home in a suburb can produce different city strings on different receipts. This hub holds only the 1,120,706 lines labeled SEATTLE. That split is disclosure mechanics, not a statement about the metro’s civic identity.
Keeping both facts in view—$327,126,798 and 1,120,706 contributions—shows a high-volume, smaller-average file. This page keeps both so the public file can be checked without a second filter that FEC.gov does not put on the city column. A combined King County picture requires adding other hubs by design.
Washington state campaign accounts are not inside $327,126,798. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Seattle, WA: 1,120,706 records. An Eastside briefing that blends Bellevue is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
