West Seattle Gas Price Watch: It’s a (pre-)Christmas miracle

| Gas prices | West Seattle news

We haven’t updated the West Seattle Gas Price Watch for a while (past editions archived here) — prices would go up a bit, then go down a bit, and we figured wasting pixels on the seesawing might bore you. However, we were out doing other things a short time ago when what should appear through the downpour, between the furiously fast sweeps of our windshield wipers, but — a milestone worth mentioning: The first $2-something price in a while (photo at left). Yes, it’s “only” the Arco on Delridge, but still.

I never thought I would ever think that $2.99 seems cheap for gas. I guess I’m getting used to these prices, though I’d love to see those numbers dip below $2.00 again at some point in my life. Wishful thinking I know, since I’m probably more likely to win Mega Millions instead.

This morning the Roxbury Safeway also had 2.99 (so that’s real gas, not Arco), so it was slightly less with the various, insidious Safeway Club card discounts.
