City of Bellevue Utilities (supply from Seattle Public Utilities' Cedar and Tolt river sources via Cascade Water Alliance), which supplies Bellevue, reports hardness of about 25 mg/L (roughly 1.5 grains per gallon); the city describes it as very soft water. 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.
