Seattle gas prices hit $5.94 as WA nears $6 a gallon

How much is gas in Seattle right now? Brace yourself: $5.94 a gallon for regular, according to GasBuddy. That’s a new record.

The statewide Washington average hit $5.73. And diesel in Seattle? $7.03. A year ago, a gallon of regular cost about $4.50.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, told “Seattle’s Morning News” on KIRO Newsradio Thursday that prices could keep climbing even as oil drops. Crude has fallen for two straight days, but gas prices lag behind oil prices, and the Strait of Hormuz blockade isn’t going anywhere yet.
