I did some math because I realised I could do this by blocks or by land area.
By area, CHAZ in its entirety took up 0.016% of Seattle proper, as in, city limits Seattle. And unlike a lot of places in, say, Kentucky (where I went to grad school and know that the city of Lexington has a lot of farms in it), the city limits aren't past where the city stops, the city limits are well before where the city stops, and those other parts of the city are are in fact other towns and cities.
If you want to include those, you'd have to stick another 0 between the decimal point and the 16.
Which means he inflated the size of CHAZ by over 1000 times.
What a dickbag.
