How much did ZIP 98144 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 98144 total $11,625,220 across 69,068 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Rainier Valley / Columbia City and not the Washington Public Disclosure Commission campaign totals. The packet facts stop at those two totals and the ZIP definition.

Does 69,068 contributions mean 69,068 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 98144 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 98144 include Washington state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings sit outside $11,625,220. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 98144 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP hub, not in this summary. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the contribution count.

69,068 lines behind Rainier Valley / Columbia City's $11.6M

The extract lists 69,068 contributions for 98144. 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 Rainier Valley / Columbia City filings. A file this long at $11.6M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. Large committee lines can still sit inside a long list.

Scanning 69,068 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 98144 FEC page by amount to see whether $11,625,220 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and split receipts all add rows. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the line count.

Southeast Seattle $11,625,220

$11,625,220 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 98144 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.6M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Rainier Valley / Columbia City spent.

Sixty-nine thousand sixty-eight rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $11.6 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 98144. King County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,625,220. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a southeast Seattle 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 $11.6M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.
