Federal contributions from ZIP 98101

Fifty-six thousand downtown Seattle lines

$26,994,102 divided by 56,028 is about $482 per itemized line. Downtown codes often mix residential towers, offices, and committee letterhead on the same five digits. That $482 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Belltown-edge household.

Fifty-six thousand twenty-eight itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 56,028 is not a headcount of people who live near Pike Place or along Third Avenue.

No party share is attached to $26,994,102. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 98101 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 56,028 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

A commercial-residential ZIP on FEC forms

98101 covers downtown Seattle and overlapping First Hill fringe mail. A contributor who lists a downtown office, a tower address, or a committee that files 98101 adds to $26,994,102 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 56,028-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Seattle geography is orientation only.

What $26,994,102 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $26,994,102 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98101, from FEC.gov.

A downtown Seattle ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 98101 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

98101 next to other Seattle codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. 98102 or 98112 may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.

Do not add 98101 to another downtown code into a core-plus total on this page. The file reports one key: 98101, $26,994,102, 56,028 contributions.

Downtown Seattle’s two public counts

Fifty-six thousand twenty-eight itemizations against $26,994,102 produce a mean of about $482. Downtown towers and offices can share 98101. LobbyVault does not split those rows. 56,028 is not a headcount of people near Pike Place. The packet has no unique-donor field.

Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings never enter $26,994,102. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. The ZIP 98101 FEC page holds the live table. The donor directory holds names. Seattle geography is orientation only.

Do not add 98101 to 98102 or 98112 into a core-plus total on this page. Nearby codes may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods. Quote $26,994,102 with 56,028 contributions.

Recheck after a restatement. Keep the mean of about $482 as arithmetic from $26,994,102 divided by 56,028. It is not a median. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Downtown Seattle mail is still a five-digit FEC key. $26,994,102 is the dollar side. 56,028 is the line side. Repeat gifts add rows. Workplace itemizations add rows. Neither figure is a census of people near Pike Place. Keep both on the same citation. The mean of about $482 follows those two facts only.

Open the ZIP 98101 FEC page when you need the current extract. Open the all-ZIP directory when you need a Seattle rank against 98112. Open the donor directory when you need a name. LobbyVault does not replace FEC.gov. Quote $26,994,102 with 56,028 contributions after any restatement.

Treat $26,994,102 as an itemized federal roll-up tagged 98101. Treat 56,028 as the matching line count. The mean of about $482 is arithmetic. It is not a median. It is not a typical downtown Seattle household check. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 98101?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98101 total $26,994,102 across 56,028 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of downtown Seattle residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $482 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98101?

LobbyVault counts 56,028 itemized contributions for ZIP 98101. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $26,994,102.

Does ZIP 98101 include only downtown Seattle residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 98101 grid can be part of $26,994,102 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 56,028-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 98101 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $26,994,102 and 56,028 lines for ZIP 98101. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Washington state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
