Talk:Seattle#Requested move (September 2008)

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 {{url|1=https://ofm.wa.gov/sites/default/files/public/dataresearch/pop/april1/ofm_april1_population_final.pdf}}. 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)

::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)

"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)

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

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.
