(IG11/21/23) According to the Washington State Office of Financial Management, which provides more accurate numbers than the census for intermediate years for cities and counties within Washington State, Seattle's population did not decline in 2021. Their findings are: 737,015 in 2020, 742,400 in 2021, 762,500 in 2022, and 779,200 in 2023. This adds important context, as non-census year population estimates published by the Census Bureau are less accurate than State findings and rely on fewer data points as the Census Bureau does not survey annually.

== Native Language of Seattle ==

Lushootseed is the native language of the Seattle area. A place's native language is closely associated with that place. It has been in use for thousands of years and continues to be used in the community. It is not just a random language. Like any other article, the native language translation can appear in the lead. @] ] (]) 22:08, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

:Furthermore, see other cities like:
:- ], where the native language Basque is used
:- ], where the native Irish is used
:- ], where the native Ngunnawal is used
:- ], where the native Maori is used
:- ], where the native Breton is used
:- ], where the native Sámi is used.
:Misplaced Pages has established a precedent for the addition of the native language of the land and people who are Indigenous to the city and area, regardless if the language is majority-spoken (It certainly isn't in most cases) or even discussed in the article at all, although most feature a paragraph or two regarding the languages. To me, a disqualifying factor is for an ancient people who no longer exist, such as the Romans, Goths, etc, where inclusion of those relevant languages would go somewhere in the article where they are discussed, which happens on a great deal of articles. However, this isn't the case with Lushootseed, for the Indigenous people of Seattle, the Duwamish, still exist in the form of several organized tribes, and the language is still spoken in those communities to this day. ] (]) 23:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
::{{ping|PersusjCP}} ] states: ''"if the subject of the article is closely associated with a non-English language, a single foreign language equivalent name may be included in the lead sentence, usually in parentheses. For example, an article about a location in a non-English-speaking country will typically include the local-language equivalent.'' In this article, the Duwamish people are mentioned ''in one sentence'', and the Lushootseed are mentioned ''in one sentence''. Moreover, the Native American population of Seattle ''is 0.4 percent''. Hardly comparable to Gaelic in Dublin! I think you have misinterpreted to the policy. Would you consider reverting your edit? ] (]) 15:13, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
:::Lushootseed is a language, not a people. How many sentences would it take for you to think the history warrants mention? In ], there are ZERO sentences about the Sámi. You had better go change it. ] has a single paragraph about the Breton language, and a single sentence about early Gaelic inhabitants. ] has a section about the Irish language in Dublin. There is just as much which could be written about Lushootseed in Seattle, but that of course wouldn't be related to the article, would it? ] has a few "unrelated" sentences about the Maori. ] has a large section devoted to its native peoples.
:::The double standard here is showing. Native history belongs in articles. Regardless of how much is written, the consensus on Misplaced Pages is that Native history belongs. If you want me to write more about Indigenous history in Seattle, I sure can do that. ] (]) 16:29, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
::::Yes, yes, the Indians were everywhere, up and down the coast, in tiny numbers, or seasonal settlements, leaving behind traces of archaeological remnants, and now they comprise a tiny percentage of the population. This article's association with the various tribes who migrated through the area hardly merits mention in the first sentence. ] (]) 17:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::You are wrong on literally every count, it's impressive. Indigenous people still exist. Historically, the Duwamish were in large numbers, with at least 17 villages. Not just random people migrating around. You are wrong about "traces" of archaeological elements. The archaeological history of the Indigenous peoples is vast and can be seen in cultural centers and museums across the country and even across the globe. It isn't "various tribes who migrated through the area," there were YEAR ROUND COMMUNITIES no different to any pre-industrial settlement anywhere in the world.
