Seattle Identities
A civic archive collects Seattle residents’ first-person self-descriptions from City Council public comment.
Field notes
The page presents first-person statements gathered from Seattle City Council public-comment introductions and distinguishes reviewed entries by linking them to source video. Its examples span housing, transit, disability access, immigration, labor, climate, caregiving, and public education, giving the archive a broad civic range without converting those speakers into conventional biographies. One displayed identity explicitly has no accompanying video, suggesting the collection tracks source availability rather than hiding gaps.
