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 spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
