City of Kirkland Water Division (wholesale supply from Seattle Public Utilities via Cascade Water Alliance), which supplies Kirkland, reports hardness of about 1.43 grains per gallon as CaCO3 (roughly 24 mg/L), which the city describes as naturally very soft. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
