These gas prices are almost as bad as the job market: Seattle gas prices near $6 as statewide average continues to climb
The price per gallon of gasoline has neared $6 in several Washington counties, while the state’s average has skyrocketed roughly $1 in the past month.
Washington residents are paying roughly 30% more per gallon of gas than the rest of the country, with prices increasing by 89 cents since just a month ago, according to AAA.
As of April 6, Washington’s average price per gallon is $5.386, which is $1.267 higher than the national average. The price per gallon in Washington is the third highest in the nation.
Across the greater Seattle area, the average price per gallon of regular gas is $5.682, nearly 38% higher than the national average.
