An interesting result, one which highlights the consistent differences between what people say on surveys, as reflected in our article (only 16% agnostic or atheist), and what they show through their behavior. Are you proposing that we add something to the article based on this source? I would support it. HiLo48 (talk) 22:55, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@HiLo48 I'm unable to view the article text, but certainly welcome any appropriate article improvements. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:01, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Done. HiLo48 (talk) 06:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Population

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. 136.27.14.127 (talk) 01:22, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

For consistency with other U.S. articles, the Census Bureau's annual July 1 estimates should be used here. The OFM's projections can be used as long as the two aren't mixed together. Sounder Bruce 04:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected article request

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? 2603:8080:D03:89D4:5455:7E51:D6A9:6A7C (talk) 01:06, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm still fixing myself, day by day. 102.157.55.157 (talk) 20:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Referencing the anti-Chinese sentiment.

The word used in this part of the article is "onflict" which I believe should be "conflict." SeattleSeamus (talk) 01:37, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Fixed, but such edits can be made without needing a talk page message. Sounder Bruce 01:52, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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.. Also, Seattle is the 54th most populous city in North America, not 58th according to List of North American cities by population which is in the infobox. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:76E7:6E76:D599:24BE (talk) 02:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
