FEC itemizations that list ZIP 98103 total $16,275,902 across 107,055 contributions. That pairing—sixteen million dollars spread over more than one hundred thousand disclosed rows—is the local signature of this Fremont, Wallingford, and Green Lake Seattle code. Figures come from FEC.gov filings indexed on LobbyVault. The ZIP is the five-digit address label on the receipt, not a unique-person census and not a Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission local file.

Key figures

  • ZIP 98103 FEC itemizations total $16,275,902.
  • The extract lists 107,055 contributions with contributor ZIP 98103—the highest row count at this dollar scale.
  • The contribution count is a receipt count, not a unique-person total.
  • Joint-fundraising and PAC addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

A high itemization count behind $16,275,902

ZIP 98103 reaches $16,275,902 with 107,055 contributions, the highest row count. Many codes at similar dollar volume show far fewer receipts. A large row count usually means the disclosed file contains many separate itemizations—repeat payroll-style gifts, modest disclosed amounts, earmarks, and cycle-over-cycle repeats—rather than a handful of outsized transfers. The summary still cannot prove that pattern without opening the table.

The $16,275,902 total remains a sum of itemized lines that listed 98103. Unitemized gifts never enter this number. If a searcher only quotes the dollars and ignores the 107,055 count, the ZIP looks like any other mid-$16 million code. The count is the local signature in this extract: volume of receipts, not a published unique-person figure.

What 107,055 contributions are and are not

One hundred seven thousand fifty-five is a receipt count. It is not a donor census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many individuals live behind Fremont and Wallingford rows. A household that split gifts across committees, or a person who gave in several cycles, can occupy many lines.

Joint-fundraising committees and PACs that file from 98103 would also inflate both dollars and rows if their address uses this ZIP. The 98103 hub is where those committee names become visible. Until a row is inspected, the safe statement is only that FEC disclosure tagged 107,055 itemizations to this five-digit code.

Questions

How much federal money is tagged to ZIP 98103?
FEC itemizations listing 98103 as the contributor ZIP total $16,275,902. That amount is the sum of disclosed receipts in the extract, not an estimate of unitemized giving and not a unique-donor total. The companion count is 107,055 contributions carrying the same five-digit ZIP.
Why does ZIP 98103 have 107,055 contributions?
The 107,055 figure is how many itemized rows list 98103—the highest row count among the codes at similar disclosed dollars. Repeat gifts, payroll-style deductions, and earmarks each add a row. The packet does not include a distinct-donor count, so the high row volume should not be read as 107,055 people. The ZIP hub shows the actual receipts.
Can PAC filings be inside the 98103 total?
Yes. The FEC ZIP is the five-digit code on the contribution record. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses in 98103 can sit in the same $16,275,902 total as gifts that list a home address. Check committee names on the ZIP 98103 FEC page before treating the sum as household-only.
Where are the 98103 itemizations listed?
