01
Money in — who funds this committee
The largest reported contributions. Washington requires committees to itemise contributions above a threshold; smaller gifts are reported in aggregate.
No itemised contributions on file. The committee reports $0 from 0 contributors, but our sync holds no itemised rows for it. That is a gap in what we have read from the PDC, not a committee that filed nothing.

How the money was gathered
The PDC types every contributor. This does not follow a committee’s own money back to a person — see what this page does not show — but it does say how much arrived from individuals rather than from other organisations.
Contributions are not broken down by contributor type. The PDC C3 record types every contributor as an individual, a business, another committee, and so on. Our finance rebuild has not produced that breakdown for this committee, so the money-in totals stand without it rather than the page guessing a split.
Last checked 2026-07-28
Contributions below the itemisation threshold are not broken out here. Washington lets small gifts be reported as a single total with no contributor named. The mix above therefore covers itemised money; the small-dollar total it leaves out is inside the amount raised and cannot be split by anyone, including the PDC.

Employers behind the individual gifts
The employer of each individual contribution, as self-reported by the contributor. A company named here did not give and did not report — the string is the donor’s, normalised by us.
Colleagues who gave on the same day
Three or more people sharing an employer, giving to this committee on a single date. Money arriving together is the pattern; a shared employer on its own is not.
No same-day bundles were detected for this committee. No date shows three or more contributors sharing a stated employer giving together. That is what the filings hold, not proof no coordinated giving happened — the employer field below is blank on most gifts, so a bundle whose donors left it empty would not appear.

Employers behind more than one donor
Across the whole cycle rather than a single day. Weaker than the table above, and included because a slow accumulation from one workplace is still worth being able to see.
No employer is shared by more than one contributor. Either no two itemised donors reported the same workplace, or the employer field was left blank on the gifts that would have matched. The field is optional and self-reported, so an empty table here is a gap in what donors disclosed, not a committee with no colleagues among its givers.
Last checked 2026-07-28
Only 0% of itemised donors stated an employer. The field is filled in by the donor and left blank more often than not, so both tables above show what we can see rather than everything that exists. Treat the counts as a floor. Occupations reported in the employer box — “retired”, “self-employed” — are excluded, because they are not a shared workplace.

How concentrated the money is
Computed from every itemised contribution rather than from the largest few, which is what makes the share meaningful.
The concentration share is not computed for this committee. The share of itemised money coming from the largest few donors is computed against every itemised contribution, not a top-N list. Where the finance rebuild has not produced that figure — usually a committee with no itemised giving — the page says so rather than estimating a share that would look authoritative and be wrong.

Money out — where it went
$0
total spent
Spending for and against other people
Independent expenditures and electioneering communications — money this committee spent advocating for or against a candidate or measure, without coordinating with them. It is reported separately from the committee’s own operating spending, and is not a contribution to anyone.
| Kind | Position | Amount | Filings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent expenditure | Not stated | $217,057 | 29 |
| Independent expenditure | For | $217,057 | 10 |
This shows the totals, not the targets. The filings name who each expenditure supported or opposed. We hold the amounts and the stance but have not yet joined them to the candidates and measures they name, so this says how much and which way, not against whom.

Independent expenditures by party
Money this committee reported spending for or against someone without coordinating with them. Kept apart from its ordinary spending, because folding the two together would misstate both.
| Kind | Stance as filed | Filings | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent expenditure | Not stated | 29 | $217K |
| Independent expenditure | For | 10 | $217K |
Grouped by the stance the committee itself filed, not by the party of who the money touched — the C-4 does not state a party, and joining spending descriptions to candidates to parties would be our chain, not a record.

When the money moved
Itemised contributions in and expenditures out, by the month on the filing. Unitemised small-dollar totals carry no dates and are not in this chart — the money-in section states them.
Not enough dated activity to chart. This committee’s itemised transactions fall in fewer than two months. The totals above are complete; there is simply no timeline to draw.

Across cycles
Other filings under the same PDC committee id.
Only one cycle on file. We hold a single filing for committee 2339. That means it registered for one election, or that our sync covers only the cycles this one falls in — the filings do not distinguish the two.

Does it add up
The arithmetic, in the open. Reported contributions less reported spending is what the committee should still be holding.
This is what the two filings imply, not a bank balance. Committees also report cash on hand directly, and the two figures can differ where a report is outstanding.

What this page does not show
Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.
- Who is really behind a committee that funds this one
- We show every contributor the committee reported, and how much of its money came from organisations rather than individuals. A committee funded by another committee is common, and following that chain to the people at the end of it means joining filings across organisations and cycles — a join we have not made, and one that would be wrong to guess at.
- Who the independent spending was aimed at
- The filings name the candidate or measure each independent expenditure supported or opposed. We hold the amounts and which way they cut, but have not joined them to those records, so the page says how much and not against whom.
- Whether the spending worked
- We hold what was raised, what was spent, and in some cases the result. Connecting them would be a causal claim from two numbers, and spending is not the only thing that moves an election.
- Anything below the itemisation threshold
- Washington lets small contributions and small expenses be reported as lump sums with no counterparty. That money is in the totals and cannot be broken out by anyone, including the PDC. Where a lump is large, the page says so.

- YESSEATTLELIBRARIES is a independent spender registered with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission for the 2026 election cycle.
- How much money has YESSEATTLELIBRARIES raised?
- YESSEATTLELIBRARIES reported $0 in contributions for the 2026 cycle. The largest itemised contributions are listed in the money-in section above, and how that money was gathered is broken down by contributor type.
- How much has YESSEATTLELIBRARIES spent?
- YESSEATTLELIBRARIES reported $0 in expenditures. The “Does it add up” section subtracts reported spending from reported contributions in the open, and prints the residual even when the two filings do not yet reconcile.
- Where does the data on YESSEATTLELIBRARIES come from?
- Every figure on this page is read from YESSEATTLELIBRARIES’s own filings with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission, published at the PDC. Nothing here is modelled or inferred; where a filing is silent or late, the page says so rather than filling the gap.
- What is a political committee in Washington?
- A political committee is any person or group, other than an individual, that raises or spends money to support or oppose a candidate or ballot measure in Washington. State law requires it to register with the Public Disclosure Commission and to file regular contribution and expenditure reports, which are the records this page is built from.
