The $15,027,559 downtown Seattle total
FEC.gov itemizations tagged 98104 add to $15,027,559. The matching line count is 36,111. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $416 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical downtown Seattle household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Downtown Seattle ZIPs often mix office, hotel, and committee mail with residential itemizations.
Thirty-six thousand one hundred eleven rows sits in the middle of the $15 million ZIP band: neither the thinnest file nor the longest. A list of 36,111 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $416 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.
No party share is attached to $15,027,559. Keep 98104 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Pioneer Square and the International District political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.
Pioneer Square mail versus household giving
98104 covers downtown Seattle, including Pioneer Square and International District mail. A contributor who lists a downtown Seattle address, or a committee that files 98104, adds to $15,027,559 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what downtown Seattle residents gave.”
The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 36,111 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Washington state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 98104?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98104 total $15,027,559 across 36,111 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.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98104?
- LobbyVault counts 36,111 itemized contributions for ZIP 98104. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $15,027,559.
- Does ZIP 98104 include only Seattle residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in downtown Seattle can be part of $15,027,559 when 98104 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 36,111-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 98104 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,027,559 and 36,111 lines for ZIP 98104. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
