87,695 lines on an $18.4 million ZIP
Divide $18,428,991 by 87,695 and the typical itemized line is about $210. That is the high-volume end of this set: many receipts, a low mean. South Lake Union’s mix of apartments, offices, and campus-adjacent mail does not by itself explain the two numbers. The packet publishes those two numbers. It does not publish a unique-donor count.
Eighty-seven thousand six hundred ninety-five contributions is among the longer lists in this remaining-ZIP wave. Volume is not a unique-person count. Payroll-style itemizations, repeat givers, and redesignations can inflate the line list. Quote 87,695 as a contribution-line total, not as a population of Seattle donors.
LobbyVault does not attach a tech-industry story to $18,428,991. Employer fields are not in this aggregate. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 98109.
Office ZIPs and household ZIPs share one field
98109 covers South Lake Union, a slice of Queen Anne, and a dense office grid. A filer who lists a workplace, a filer who lists a condo, and a committee that uses a 98109 suite all land in the same five-digit bucket. $18,428,991 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.
Named receipts on the ZIP 98109 FEC page are the way to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split between households and entities. The 87,695-line count follows the same rule.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 98109?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98109 total $18,428,991 across 87,695 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of South Lake Union residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $210 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
- Why does ZIP 98109 have so many contribution lines?
- LobbyVault counts 87,695 itemized contributions for ZIP 98109 against $18,428,991. Dense office and apartment mail can produce many small itemized rows. Repeat gifts and redesignations add lines without adding unique people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 87,695 should not be quoted as a population.
- Does ZIP 98109 include only Seattle residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Workplace addresses and committees that file 98109 can be part of $18,428,991 when that is what was entered. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 98109 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,428,991 and 87,695 lines for ZIP 98109. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Washington state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, 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.
