Your status as a citizen in Seattle is the direct inverse of your ability to express your opinion to an elected local official.
If you are able to significantly effect both positive and negative opinions, double the effect.
If you are able to express your opinion with an eye to the budget, multiply it.
If you are to do all of the above, use an exponent.
(If you wish a positive Status in Seattle find a way to give bucketloads of cash to Foster, Pepper, and Sheffleman and 'volunteer' to speak for one of their tax revenue 'deals'.)
