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)

- Are you autoconfirmed yet? Could you add this to the article? Dennis Dartman (talk) 10:42, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Looks like I am now (autoconfirmed). I will add the update. NateJ.Wiki (talk) 15:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Added wikilink - List of people from Seattle
For now, I placed wikilink List of people from Seattle at "See also" section. Some articles have a "Notable people" section instead of the wikilink. In the future, anyone is welcome to move the List wikilink to another spot in the article if need be. JoeNMLC (talk) 12:07, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Seattle is not seaport town it's on a sound not a sea or ocean
Change seaport town to port town 71.126.175.186 (talk) 23:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- The word seaport in the lead is actually linked, just as I have again done there, to Port. That article quite adequately addresses your concerns. HiLo48 (talk) 02:52, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
