The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released its awaited June CPI report and it reveals that the National All-Cities index has moderated more than the Seattle index. The Seattle June CPI-W was reported at 2.7%, more than a point ahead of the June All Cities CPI-W which was reported at 1.6%. In both cases, these indices dropped significantly from last June when inflation was running near 4%. This chart shows the last 12 months of CPI-W data.
