Just sticking to places with it in a simple format, there's S gene target failure rates for San Diego [0] and University of Washington [1]. I don't know if Kristian Andersen's lab has that info anywhere else, but UW has it online somewhere else, just can't reach it on my phone.
It looks like both Scripps and UW are listing SGTF rates at >70% now, as of yesterday. Given that San Diego and certain counties within Washington are >70% omicron, the CDC nowcast listing it as 73% (for the nation?) doesn't seem crazy as an average.
Edit: I just noticed you asked for sequencing info, but SGTF seems to be a good enough measure. Sequencing is slow, so you'll always be ~1 week out. Andersen's data is particularly good IMHO because they list Ct values <=30 and >30. It's been a pet peeve of mine for some time that certain labs run the PCR tests to Ct >40, since that could be positive with ~1 RNA molecule meaning it's unlikely that's a real infection (at least at the time of the test).
