Costs in Seattle, WA? -

How much do things cost in Seattle. Like.....Gas BillsWater BillsElectricity BillsCar InsurancePhone BillsandLike a full fridge worth of food

Here are the numbers for my 2400 sq. foot home north of Seattle:Gas - about $200 per month in winter, about $30 in summerWater - (includes sewer) about $50 per monthElectricity - about $80 per monthCar Insurance - $600 per year for two adults, not fancy cars.Phone bills - $35 per month for a landline, $35 for the DSL line to go with, $70 per month for two cell lines that share minutesA full fridge of food would run me about $200. Food tends to be a bit more expensive here than in other places in the country - and the stores do not double coupons :(.Gasoline tends to be on the high side of the national average as well.
