Ballard’s favorite high-priced gas station, the Spirit on Market and 24th, has now raised its regular unleaded price from $4.06 (last week) to $4.17, according to this photo by MaryWit. You may remember that TV crews flocked to the Spirit earlier this month when it was the first gas station in the Seattle area to break the $4 barrier. Meanwhile, gas prices are up 17 cents nationwide over the last two weeks alone.
