Federal contributions from ZIP 98144

Itemized federal receipts tagged 98144 add up to $11.6M across 69,068 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts for Rainier Valley, Columbia City, and adjoining southeast Seattle mail, not a Washington Public Disclosure Commission local file. Sixty-nine thousand sixty-eight lines at this dollar scale is a long receipt list: many itemized rows sharing one southeast Seattle ZIP. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

  • ZIP 98144 FEC itemizations total $11,625,220 ($11.6M).
  • 69,068 contributions list 98144 — a high-volume receipt file at this dollar scale.
  • 98144 is a southeast Seattle filing key, not a citywide FEC total.
  • This packet has no unique-donor count.

69,068 lines behind Rainier Valley / Columbia City's $11.6M

The extract lists 69,068 contributions for 98144. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Rainier Valley / Columbia City filings. A file this long at $11.6M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. Large committee lines can still sit inside a long list.

Scanning 69,068 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 98144 FEC page by amount to see whether $11,625,220 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and split receipts all add rows. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the line count.

Southeast Seattle $11,625,220

$11,625,220 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 98144 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.6M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Rainier Valley / Columbia City spent.

Sixty-nine thousand sixty-eight rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $11.6 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 98144. King County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,625,220. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a southeast Seattle political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $11.6M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

98144 on Schedule A

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Rainier Avenue corridors, Columbia City residences, and committee mail in 98144 can share the code. Quote $11.6M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Rainier Valley / Columbia City residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it.

The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. A contributor who lists a Rainier Valley / Columbia City address, or a committee that files 98144, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A southeast Seattle street and a committee that files 98144 both increment the same roll-up. 98108, 98118, and 98122 are separate keys.

Where 98144 receipts live

The ZIP 98144 FEC page is the itemized table behind $11,625,220 and 69,068 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison catalog. The donor directory searches names across the FEC file. FEC.gov is the originating system. LobbyVault indexes the ZIP field so the packet facts can be quoted without assembling Schedule A reports by hand.

Capitol Hill 98122 and Rainier Beach 98118 are separate keys; do not add them to 98144 without a new extract. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates that this summary does not carry. This guide stays inside the harvested facts and does not add cycle splits, employer roll-ups, or occupation tables that the packet omitted. Sort, filter, and export live on the hub.

98144 beside 98118 and 98122

Rainier Beach 98118 and Capitol Hill 98122 are different FEC keys. Compare 69,068 against those peers on the all-ZIP index rather than against an Eastside ZIP with a different filing shape. This page reports $11,625,220 for 98144 only.

What 98144 leaves out

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Olympia-filed state reports are out. Seattle municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $11,625,220 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98144.

Questions

How much did ZIP 98144 show in FEC itemized totals?
Receipts listing 98144 total $11,625,220 across 69,068 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Rainier Valley / Columbia City and not the Washington Public Disclosure Commission campaign totals. The packet facts stop at those two totals and the ZIP definition.
Does 69,068 contributions mean 69,068 people donated?
No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 98144 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.
Does ZIP 98144 include Washington state races?
No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings sit outside $11,625,220. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 98144 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP hub, not in this summary. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the contribution count.
Where can I see 98144 itemizations?
On the ZIP 98144 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $11,625,220, 69,068 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
