== Malformed footnote references in side-block ==

I am not expert enough to fix this.
In the side block of data about Seattle, the page gives two names for the lcoal residents. Both names are footnoted, but the second footnote, #5, refers to another topic.

Demonym(s) Seattleite or Seattlite


{{Archives|start=0|bot=Lowercase sigmabot III|age=30}}
I suggest that both terms be grouped together to point to the same footnote, #4.
Footnote #5 does not have an anchor that I can find. There is a reference in the Twinned Cities section (sister cities), but it is to #307 (or so). Regardless of the precise number, the twinned cities reference does not use #5.
