DELETE the information stating that Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Vancouver, BC is larger. 2601:601:D080:AEB0:7535:41D6:F0C1:D780 (talk) 17:31, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 Not done Vancouver makes it obvious that this is false, with its population that is smaller than Seattle's in the second sentence. Reywas92 17:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

By and By

I attended what is surely the best law school in the world and am quite confident in my English language abilities, and I had to look "by and by" up - apparently it means "eventually". In my mind, "by and by" conjures up images of country folk strummin' on the ole banjo, but provides no actual meaning. I know that this newspaper article says, "by and by", but a newspaper article is a secondary source just like any other; it does not actually cite authority for the proposition that this is a proper translation. Perhaps the article could be changed to use somewhat more standard language?

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

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.

I will try to figure out the Wiki-foo required to make this change, but I do not know how to do it today.

Climate Foundation

@BoldLuis: I removed Climate Foundation because it does not appear notable and has no secondary sources to support its inclusion here. There are lots of organizations based in Seattle, not all of them are WP:DUE coverage in the article. Ibadibam (talk) 19:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Seattle. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
