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