Finding cheap gas in Redmond (98052)
Redmond is Microsoft's hometown, and the sprawling main campus straddles SR 520 in the southern part of the 98052 area, drawing a daily tide of tech commuters from across the Eastside. North of downtown sits Education Hill, a settled residential neighborhood, while Avondale Road carries traffic up the eastern side, so the fuel map follows those commuter flows.
The competitive stations cluster around downtown Redmond, the SR 520 access points, and the busier crossings near the campus and the Redmond Town Center retail, where volume and grocery or warehouse fuel keep prices in check. Up on Education Hill and along the quieter residential roads the pumps are sparser, so filling during the commute or a shopping run is the efficient habit.
Washington's steep state fuel tax sets a high floor, so value here is about station choice rather than any local break. Comparing a downtown Redmond station against one near the SR 520 ramps usually surfaces the better number.

How to save more on gas in Redmond
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Washington
Washington's gas tax sits around 49 cents per gallon, third-highest in the nation, plus the state's Climate Commitment Act adds a few additional cents to fund emissions reductions. Refining capacity is concentrated in the Anacortes-Cherry Point corridor north of Seattle, and the state is part of PADD 5 (West Coast), which often experiences supply tightness due to limited pipeline connections to Midwest fuel. Costco (founded near Seattle), Sam's Club, Fred Meyer, and Safeway fuel are the most reliable for value across the Puget Sound metro and Spokane.
