Gas prices in Seattle, WA

About gas prices in Seattle, WA

Seattle pricing reflects PADD 5 West Coast dynamics and Washington's relatively unique market structure. BP Cherry Point and HollyFrontier's Anacortes refineries supply most of the metro through pipeline and barge. Washington state gas tax is among the highest in the country at around 49 cents per gallon. Summer ozone-season reformulated gasoline requirements apply in parts of the Puget Sound region. Seattle pricing typically runs 30 to 50 cents above the national average and within 10 cents of Portland OR. Drivers in suburban communities (Lynnwood, Renton, Federal Way, Bellevue) typically see 5 to 15 cents per gallon savings versus downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill stations. Costco locations along I-5 and I-405 post the lowest pricing most weeks.
