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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

Elevation

There are many claims as to Seattle's elevation. Can we agree on a source to use here? FatalistEuronet (talk) 21:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
