Analysts point to the state's 56.5-cent fuel tax and Climate Commitment Act pass-through costs as key factors, while global tensions near the Strait of Hormuz add pressure. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/business/washington-gas-prices-surge-while-other-states-see-drop/ #WashingtonState #GasPrices #FuelCosts #ClimateCommitmentAct #Transportation #EnergyPolicy #ClarkCounty #LaborDay #Diesel #GasBuddy
