If you are in one of the suburbs of Seattle, you pay even more for utilities, so they can’t be more wasteful than average (or at least in the greater Seattle area). There are a lot of games played with utility rates (eg: have taxpayers on the hook for infrastructure rather than ratepayers), so it’s hard to compare across regions and correctly account for the true cost.
