If you're just doing a map-a-thon, where people edit thing so manually, then that isn't an import. You don't need to use the data from data.seattle.gov. You don't need to get approval for an "armchair-map-athon", right? Manually created OSM objects are mostly viewed as more reliable than a data import. So why not just ignore the open data from the city?
