Local Notes for Issaquah
City of Issaquah Public Works (city wells blended with Cascade Water Alliance supply from Seattle's Tolt and Cedar River system), which supplies Issaquah, reports hardness of about 58-93 mg/L as calcium carbonate at the city's wells (soft to moderately hard); South Lake Sammamish and Montreux receive only Cascade Water Alliance surface water. 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.
