Washington IFTA Rates & Trucking Overview 2026

Washington's diesel rate is 49.4¢/gal (2Q 2026). The Seattle metro is a top-10 freight market driven by Amazon's global headquarters and fulfillment network, major port operations (Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma combined form the 2nd largest port complex in the US), and Boeing's commercial aircraft production. Despite the high rate, Washington's economic gravity means significant freight must pass through.
