Key figures

A long Seattle list with a modest mean

$14,959,958 divided by 72,901 is about $205 per itemized line. Seventy-two thousand nine hundred one rows is a dense list for a $15.0M total. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count, a party split, or a neighborhood-within-ZIP split.

Do not treat 72,901 as a census of Capitol Hill. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and any committee that prints 98122 all add rows. LobbyVault does not interpret $14,959,958 as a ranking of Seattle civic intensity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 98122.

Capitol Hill mail is not all of Seattle

Seattle uses many ZIPs. 98101, 98102, 98112, and 98144 are different roll-ups. A Pike/Pine suite and a 23rd Avenue household can share 98122 when that is what the filer typed. $14,959,958 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book. Open the ZIP 98122 FEC page for named receipts rather than guessing which of the 72,901 rows are households.

Adding 98122 to other Seattle codes and calling the sum a city FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $14,959,958 for 98122 only.

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98122 total $14,959,958 across 72,901 contributions. The compact headline is $15.0M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Capitol Hill. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98122?
LobbyVault counts 72,901 itemized contributions for ZIP 98122. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. The mean of about $205 follows from dividing dollars by lines. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear. This packet still does not publish a unique-donor count.
Does ZIP 98122 cover all of Seattle?
No. 98122 is one east-of-downtown mail key covering Capitol Hill and the Central District. Other Seattle ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees and office addresses that file 98122 can be part of $14,959,958. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide book.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 98122 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $14,959,958 and 72,901 lines for ZIP 98122. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and 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.
