Semi-protected edit request on 26 March 2025

Template:Edit semi-protected Change city-wide population to 797,700 based on 2024 estimate from SPD; see 2024 population estimate when you hover your cursor over the 2024 crime rate on the graph.

Those crime rates seem to be based on the population figure for Seattle reported in Template:Url. Since the Office of Financial Management (OFM) document has the figure easier to find, I will use that to update the article. Peaceray (talk) 18:07, 26 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
I reverted the change, as it is generally preferred to use the Census Bureau's annual estimates to remain consistent with other states. The OFM uses a different methodology, so it doesn't always line up. SounderBruce 18:45, 26 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

5th largest LGBT community in the U.S.?

"as of 2015, hosts the fifth-largest LGBT community in the U.S." was this source misinterpreted from the headline? https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/data-show-seattle-metros-lgbt-population-at-173000/

it might be 5th highest percent of population, not 5th largest total population 2600:1700:1FF0:AEF0:FC23:A80B:AB7:53A (talk) 22:45, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Good catch. I've reworded it to better summarize what the source said. Schazjmd (talk) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Aerial Aerial view of Seattle 1891

As manned flight did not begin until 1903, how or from where was this taken / painted / conceived? From a balloon perhaps? Or is this AI generated Fantasy?

Not referenced in the article from what I can see.

This was drawn by Augustus Koch; you can learn more about this style at The History of Bird's Eye View Maps and the Mapmakers. Schazjmd (talk) 15:45, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
