Federal contributions from ZIP 98177

Forty-five thousand North Seattle lines

$21,758,224 divided by 45,766 is about $475 per itemized line. Shoreline and North Seattle mail share those five digits on Schedule A. That $475 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical household along the Sound.

Forty-five thousand seven hundred sixty-six itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 45,766 is not a headcount of people in Richmond Beach, Broadview, or Crown Hill.

No party share is attached to $21,758,224. 98177 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 45,766 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

A shoreline ZIP on FEC forms

98177 covers North Seattle and Shoreline fringe mail. A contributor who lists a home, an office, or a committee that files 98177 adds to $21,758,224 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 45,766-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. King County geography is orientation only.

What $21,758,224 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $21,758,224 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98177, from FEC.gov.

A North Seattle ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 98177 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

98177 next to other Seattle codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. 98115 or 98133 may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.

Do not add 98177 to another North Seattle code into a shoreline total on this page. The file reports one key: 98177, $21,758,224, 45,766 contributions.

LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. Named receipts answer identity questions this 45,766-line roll-up cannot. The mean of about $475 is $21,758,224 divided by 45,766. Quote the pair. The packet has no unique-donor field.

How researchers should quote 98177

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 98177 total $21,758,224 across 45,766 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $475 describes filing shape. It is not a typical Shoreline gift, not a median, and not a unique-donor figure. This packet has no party split.

North Seattle and Shoreline mail share 98177. That geography orients a reader; it does not split $21,758,224 into Richmond Beach versus Broadview. FEC.gov did not encode neighborhood. A home, an office, or a committee that filed 98177 adds to the total when that ZIP is on the itemization. Recoding 45,766 lines into a shoreline census is a different dataset.

Do not add 98177 to 98133 or 98117 into a north-end total on this page. The all-ZIP directory ranks codes on the same series without inventing a combined figure. If the live ZIP 98177 FEC page reprints a different pair, the newer extract wins. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings sit outside $21,758,224. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. Named receipts answer who is on the rows; this roll-up answers only the ZIP string, the dollars, and the 45,766-line count.

A researcher who only quotes $21,758,224 without 45,766 hides the $475 mean. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large North Seattle row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 98177 FEC page. This file is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not an amendment log. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov; it does not replace the Commission’s reports for ZIP 98177. Quote $21,758,224 and 45,766 together.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98177?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 98177 grid can be part of $21,758,224 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 45,766-line count follows the same rule.
