Local Notes for Seattle
Seattle Public Utilities, which supplies Seattle, reports hardness of about 1.5-1.7 grains per gallon (calcium hardness roughly 24-26 mg/L as CaCO3) in Cedar and Tolt supply water (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.
