Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.seattle.gov
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://seattle.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
- Meeting video: https://www.seattlechannel.org (official Seattle Channel; video IDs are Seattle Channel ids, not YouTube)
- Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22; meeting content comes from the transcripts as they are processed.
Data quality notes
- Calendar listed no meetings after 11/23 and no committee meetings after 10/29 (Nov budget meetings/final vote not yet posted); mayor and clerk names not verified from fetched official pages so omitted; Planning Commission/zoning board not covered; no official YouTube meeting uploads found (Seattle Channel hosts video; @SeattleChannel feed shows only old items), so video_id is the Seattle Channel id; videos capped to those with links on the Legistar calendar.
