How much did ZIP 98121 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 98121 total $11,386,511 across 34,358 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Belltown / downtown Seattle and not the Washington PDC campaign totals.

Does 34,358 contributions mean 34,358 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 98121 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 98121 include Washington state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Washington PDC filings sit outside $11,386,511. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 98121 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on that hub.

Where can I see 98121 itemizations?

On the ZIP 98121 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $11,386,511, 34,358 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

FEC.gov itemizations that carry ZIP 98121 total $11.4M on 34,358 contribution lines. The five-digit field is the ZIP on FEC.gov receipts for Belltown and downtown Seattle mail, not a Washington Public Disclosure Commission local file. Thirty-four thousand lines at this dollar scale is a mid-length receipt list, not a handful of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

ZIP 98121 FEC itemizations total $11,386,511 ($11.4M).
34,358 contributions list 98121 as the contributor ZIP.
98121 is a Belltown / downtown Seattle filing key, not a King County headcount.
This packet has no unique-donor count.

Belltown mail and $11,386,511

$11,386,511 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 98121 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The Washington PDC filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.4M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Belltown / downtown Seattle spent.

Thirty-four thousand three hundred fifty-eight rows is a working mid-length file among ZIPs near $11 million. Belltown towers, downtown offices, and any committee that prints 98121 add to the same bucket. A list of this length can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 98121. King County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,386,511. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a King County political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $11.4M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

34,358 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 34,358 contributions for 98121. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Belltown / downtown Seattle filings. A mid-length file at $11.4M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 34,358 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,386,511, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names, that will show too. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 98121 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Belltown / downtown Seattle political score.
