NSF federal obligations in Washington 7th District (WA-07)
$448,714,199 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum for awarding agency 049 (National Science Foundation) inside Washington 7th District (WA-07), on 357 award records. Three hundred fifty-seven NSF-coded awards equal about half a percent of WA-07's district obligation total. The tiny share is a huge-denominator story, not an empty research agency. That pair is National Science Foundation and Washington 7th District (WA-07) — not Washington's entire federal inflow, not National Science Foundation nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 0.5% of this district's published obligation total ($84,208,106,524.58). Implied average obligation is about $1,256,902.52 ($448,714,199 ÷ 357). Correlation is not causation.

National Science Foundation and Washington 7th District (WA-07) as a USAspending pair
Awarding agency 049 and congressional district WA-07 meet here. $448,714,199 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Washington 7th District (WA-07), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 357 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file.
Dividing $448,714,199 by 357 yields about $1,256,902.52 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 357 awards is a mid-size NSF file against a district total near eighty-four billion dollars. Share is tiny because the denominator is huge. Do not treat WA-07's 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Washington 7th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without a WA-07 filter, Washington federal spending for every awarding agency in the Washington extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $448,714,199.
How USAspending labels National Science Foundation
USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $448,714,199 when crossed with Washington 7th District (WA-07) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require WA-07 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 357 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Washington 7th District (WA-07) did not cause $448,714,199 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × WA-07 only. This cell is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Geography is WA-07, not a facility map
Washington 7th District (WA-07) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list WA-07 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Washington districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Washington 7th District (WA-07) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Washington. Other Washington districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Washington 7th District (WA-07) is a high-dollar place-of-performance geography. Other Washington districts can host Interior; those dollars are not this NSF cell.
Washington federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $448,714,199 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Washington 7th District (WA-07) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to National Science Foundation. The district-wide obligation total published here is $84,208,106,524.58; $448,714,199 is the NSF slice of that denominator.
Commitment totals versus cash paid
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $448,714,199 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside WA-07 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $448,714,199 as given.
Keeping both sides of the 049 × WA-07 pair
Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $448,714,199 on 357 awards coded to Washington 7th District (WA-07). Name National Science Foundation and Washington 7th District (WA-07) together. Keep the obligation word. If Washington 7th District or National Science Foundation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file. 0.5% of $84,208,106,524.58 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Share, mean, and what they are not
357 awards is a mid-size NSF file against a district total near eighty-four billion dollars. Share is tiny because the denominator is huge. Another NSF cell can show a similar row count against a much smaller district book. Same agency 049, different geography and share. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,256,902.52) and the district share (0.5% of $84,208,106,524.58) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Washington 7th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Washington 7th District (WA-07) as more NSF-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 049 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 049 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $448,714,199 and 357 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much NSF spending is coded to Washington 7th District (WA-07)?
- USAspending.gov lists $448,714,199 in National Science Foundation obligations across 357 awards with place of performance in Washington 7th District (WA-07). Agency 049 × WA-07 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Washington's complete federal ledger. The cell is 0.5% of the district's published total ($84,208,106,524.58). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,256,902.52, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $448,714,199 include every NSF program in WA-07?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $448,714,199 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside WA-07 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Washington 7th District to inspect parent tables. 357 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $448,714,199 cash already paid in Washington 7th District (WA-07)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $448,714,199 as checks already cleared in Washington 7th District (WA-07) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 357 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- How does this NSF cell relate to Washington statewide spending?
- Washington federal spending is the Washington statewide extract across awarding agencies. $448,714,199 is the National Science Foundation amount inside Washington 7th District (WA-07) only, not the statewide NSF total. Adding Washington federal spending to $448,714,199 double-counts. Agency 049 nationwide lives on National Science Foundation. This join is 049 × WA-07.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
