In the infobox, it says that it’s the 58th largest city in North America. Could someone change that to 54th to match with the List of Largest Cities in North America article please? ] (]) 01:06, 11 October 2024 (UTC) |

Now that Misplaced Pages is becoming a procedural nightmare clique, someone please update Seattle's population! I don't have time for jumping through hoops. New census figures have been out for weeks. Lame, that everything's becoming less and less democratic. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 08:18, 9 June 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Hey everyone, so I recently had Seattle equipped with mapframe (an interactive map), and it was reverted because apparently it's "janky" and it loses it's city boundary. I have no issues running mapframe on my side, and the city boundary is clearly highlighted in the map. There are no bugs to fix, so should I revert the edit? What do you guys think? - ] |

:I’ve tried to get it to work on two different platforms so far and it’s not working at all. I’d like to figure out why.<p>If you’re asking “what do you all think?” shouldn’t you wait for someone to answer before going ahead again? What’s the big rush here? I kind of like this idea but can we figure out what we want and why first? And if the interactive features aren’t working for some users, shouldn’t it fail gracefully to a static image instead of a blank hole in the page? —] (]) 04:38, 14 July 2021 (UTC) |

::{{re|Dennis Bratland}} - hi - there are no bugs here, I believe the implementation just needs to be adjusted. I can make this a stable mapframe map, as is present in many major U.S. city articles. Take for instance, ], if you want to have it still display plenty of information statically. Please see ] for explanations into the advantages of these maps, and feel free to discuss further. Per BRD, it is completely fine to add these more advanced maps, though you are also perfectly free to revert and discuss as you are here. ] ] 16:48, 14 July 2021 (UTC) |

::{{re|Ɱ}} - Hi, so I had an edit conflict due to posting at the exact same time, that was kind of humorous. Anyway, I would be fine with adjusted maps, but I am not happy with the stack bug on mobile Misplaced Pages. I would like to stick with city limits and the teardrop in the same map until the stack bug is fixed, because it looks horrendous on mobile versions. - ] |

::::I checked it twice with Safari and Chrome on iOS and got an empty white box. Now using Chrome on MacOS I see a map of the Gulf of Guinea -- lat 0 long 0 I guess, "Null Island" they call it. Seeing Africa when you're looking for Seattle more embarrassing than an empty white box. I don't really mind rich content that doesn't work all the time on all platforms; all I ask is that it fails gracefully back to more primitive content that has some value, like a static image of a map of Seattle. Especially if it's the one and only lead map. If we had the regular maps in the lead infobox and used this interactive map below that, it wouldn't be such a big deal when it's not working. I haven't heard from anybody else who has a history of editing ] yet. Curious what they think. --] (]) 20:46, 14 July 2021 (UTC) |

:::::As I said, there are no bugs here, the implementation just needed to be adjusted - the code wasn't inputted properly. Here, to the right, is how it would display normally. Zoom could be adjusted, and we could have an interactive map alongside that shows the city's boundaries without having to zoom in. And, hey, we do have a process to fall back on when a map "isn't working" - reverting, like you did. All it takes is the proper parameters to get it to function the way we'd like. ] ] 21:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC) |

It’s not “embarrassing” to see the Gulf of Guinea, the servers usually fix this within a few hours. But yeah, it is frustrating. ] (]) 03:39, 15 July 2021 (UTC) |

] - Alright, so you said the tech is janky and now you say you get a white box on all devices? That doesn’t make sense. I noticed you wanted the maps in the same infobox. |

Misplaced Pages doesn't usually operate with consistencies, I actually used to do it like that; that caused so many issues. The maps you like are so simplistic, a dot on a topographic map. But with mapframe, you can zoom in and out wherever you like, you can see surrounding cities, Seattle is the perfect city for this, Tacoma, Everett, and other cities near it. The city boundaries are highlighted in gray, and much more usable info. - ] (]) 13:46, 15 July 2021 (UTC) |

:What is your timeframe here? You seem to expect editors to respond to you within hours. Maybe they're busy on other things. Give it a week or two. Is there some reason why this must be done within days, not weeks? What's the rush? I'm happy to wait to see what other editors think. Why not?<P>And no, I can't zoom in whenever I like. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Even if I can somehow fiddle with browser settings or esoteric ] url strings or whatever until it starts to work, why should we expect the average Misplaced Pages reader to make that effort? They're going to come here, give it one try, see it's broken, and give up. That's a loss. We could have given them *some* useful information with a simple static image, but because we're in such a hurry to roll this redundant re-implementation go Google maps out, we give a lot of users nearly zero information. Don't 98.9% of users know Google Maps exists? It's not like they're really missing out. The idea is reduce the number of clicks it takes to get to that from two or three to maybe 1. *If* it works. If it's not working for that person, they get nothing.<P>If you badger me about this once a day for the next seven days, I'm going to repeat what I said seven more times. That's where I stand, OK?<p>I'm not all knowing and infallible. I'm interested in what other editors have to say and I can wait for them to get around to responding. If other editors like the new maps, fine. But nobody has commented yet. --] (]) 21:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC) |

Why does the economy section include so many companies that are not based in Seattle itself? Is Fortune reliable for incusion shoudn't we have a source that expains the connection to Seattle? ] (]) 06:34, 22 July 2021 (UTC) |

Could someone remove "very large city" in the first sentence because the population is only 797,000. San Francisco (788,478) switched places with Seattle.. Also, Seattle is the 54th most populous city in North America, not 58th according to ] which is in the infobox. ] (]) 02:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC) |

There are many claims as to Seattle's elevation. Can we agree on a source to use here? ] (]) 21:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC) |

Hello everyone, so I had no real discussion on my last page, so I’m making a new one. I recently had Seattle equipped with an interactive map, aka mapframe. It got reverted, and I need to discuss with a large community. What do you guys think? ] (]) 19:51, 22 July 2021 (UTC) |

:It seems even with a thousand watchers, nobody is that active here. {{re|Dennis Bratland}}, it's been well over a week, with nobody commenting besides you. It seems clear this community consensus on mapping Seattle has to just rely on us three. What other option do we have? ] ] 19:56, 24 July 2021 (UTC) |

::Would it not be possible to have both maps? The static version has the county boundaries and general boundaries of neighboring cities, which is helpful at a glance. I've been out of town for much of the debate, but it looks like the sample provided would be useful but not an exact replacement. ''']]''' 21:44, 24 July 2021 (UTC) |

:::Dennis Bratland, a week is more than adequate for the majority of users. Anyone else care to speak up after repeated, drawn out attempts? SounderBruce, yes, it is possible to have both maps. SkunkaMunka saw some value in making county boundaries inherent in mapframe, but I'm not really seeing too much of a benefit. I can always easily add King County to the interactive map, is there anything more? And I don't see any benefit in showing boundaries of other cities that aren't even named. Mapframe has more of a benefit by even showing the names of surrounding cities. ] ] 13:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC) |
