Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Assess : Although currently assessed as "C" class, as of revision 1262119407, the ORES score for article quality was a "B". Use this current revision link for Seattle to get the latest revision number then substitute it for the <revision number> in the https://ores.wikimedia.org/v3/scores/enwiki/<revision number>/articlequality URL. Here are two criteria assessment links:    • Wikipedia:Content assessment/B-Class criteria    • Wikipedia:Good article criteria. Cleanup : Bloated sections, such as Sports Collaborate : Improve other Top-importance articles, such as History of Seattle, and High-importance articles such as Puget Sound, Lake Union, Lake Washington, Tacoma, Washington, University of Washington, Seattle Center, Pioneer Square, Seattle, etc. Update : several sections in the Seattle article with outdated statistics or information: Demographics Economy Religion Education
