Snohomish County drivers are spending over $5 per gallon

EVERETT — For the first time since 2022, gasoline is passing $5 per gallon.

Amid international conflict in Iran disrupting oil supply, the statewide average for a gallon of gas has rose 23.16% in the last month.

Oil prices are skyrocketing following Iran’s targeting of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz in response to the United States and Israel’s attacks, said Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. The risk of an attack has curbed the flow of oil through the strait.
