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) |

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) |

: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. |

:::::I'm just seeing this comment. {{u|Magnolia677}}, I think you should strike your statement speaking about Native Americans and American Indians in past tense. We are still here. And we more than migrated through areas of this continent from the extreme arctic to the Gulf of Mexico into Latin and South America. Indians as you refer to them, inhabited these places and called it home. They have names. They are people and they formed nations with laws, customs and traditions. Whether we agree with it or not the land was taken from them and many tribes and nations suffered unspeakable horrors at the hands of the colonial empires including mass loss of life and culture. They shouldn't be cast aside with a wave of the hand as if they were irrelevant. Many of our population centers and cultural centers across North America began as Native American settlements and trading posts. --]] 19:53, 27 December 2023 (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..

Washington State's Office of Financial Management provides non-census year estimates of the total population. Should this article be updated to reflect the annual population estimate that's generated by the OFM? As far as I know, it is the best source for population estimates on non-decennial years. OFM estimates that Seattle's April 1, 2023 population was 797,200. ] (]) 01:22, 29 June 2024 (UTC) |
