Key figures

  • ZIP 98115 FEC itemizations total $21,529,872 across 107,175 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $201 β€” a high-volume, modest-mean ZIP.
  • 107,175 is a line count, not a unique-donor census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

One hundred seven thousand Northeast Seattle lines

$21,529,872 divided by 107,175 is about $201 per itemized line. Green Lake, Wedgwood, and View Ridge mail share those five digits on Schedule A. That $201 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Northeast Seattle household.

One hundred seven thousand one hundred seventy-five itemizations is a very long receipt list. Repeat gifts, small-dollar itemizations that still clear the FEC threshold, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 107,175 is not a headcount of people north of the ship canal.

A low-to-modest mean with a huge line count often means many modest rows plus some larger ones that do not dominate the average. The packet does not publish size bands. Sort the ZIP 98115 FEC page by amount to inspect the mix inside $21,529,872.

A residential-looking ZIP, still a federal string

98115 covers Northeast Seattle neighborhoods. FEC.gov stores the five digits as typed on Schedule A. A home, a small office, or a committee that files 98115 adds to $21,529,872 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving recodes the field.

The 107,175-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Seattle geography is orientation only.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 98115?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98115 total $21,529,872 across 107,175 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 Northeast Seattle residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $201 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98115?
LobbyVault counts 107,175 itemized contributions for ZIP 98115. That is a high line count for this dollar band. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $21,529,872.
Does ZIP 98115 include only Green Lake residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 98115 grid can be part of $21,529,872 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 107,175-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 98115 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $21,529,872 and 107,175 lines for ZIP 98115. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Washington state 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.
