ZIP 98009 accounts for $19,590,800 in federal contributions across 9,082 FEC itemized receipts. LobbyVault sums FEC.gov filings that list 98009 as the contributor ZIP. Bellevue, Washington uses this code as a P.O. box stream, not as a street-delivery neighborhood. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can share those five digits.

Key figures

  • ZIP 98009 FEC itemizations total $19,590,800 on 9,082 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $2,157.
  • 98009 is a Bellevue P.O. box code, not a street-delivery neighborhood total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

A $2,157 mean on 9,082 P.O. box lines

Divide $19,590,800 by 9,082 and the mean line is about $2,157. That is a mailbox-code shape: a short receipt list against eight-figure dollars. The $2,157 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Bellevue household. Street-delivery Bellevue codes such as 98004 and 98005 carry their own hubs.

Nine thousand eighty-two itemizations is a thin list next to high-volume Puget Sound residential ZIPs. Repeat gifts still add rows. 9,082 is a line count, not a roster of people who live in downtown Bellevue. A P.O. box ZIP concentrates whatever address the filer printed, including committee letterhead.

The packet attaches no party split to $19,590,800 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 98009 with both $19,590,800 and 9,082 contributions. A mean above two thousand dollars is a prompt to inspect the largest lines before treating the ZIP as a neighborhood census.

What the 98009 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 98009 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A post-office box, a commercial mail drop, or a committee that uses 98009 on its report all feed $19,590,800 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 9,082-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. Bellevue geography orients the map; it does not change the form field. King County is not a substitute for the five digits.
