Some water conditioners are more concentrated than others. For example, mine uses 1 drop per gallon or 1 ml per 20 gallons.
Prime is another concentrated water conditioner. The dose rate they give is the correct one.

Everyone here knows I do not use nor recommend Prime because of issues with the chemicals. You are in Washington state, and if this is western Washington (west of the mountains, as in along the coast) you have very soft water, and on the acidic side, so you will have less need for chemical concoctions going in the water to irritate fish. I live up in SW BC and our water is identical.
@Essjay mentioned her condition though not by name, but I know it is the one I use and highly recommend too, API's Tap Water Conditioner. For our water this is as good as you can get. And you use very little as Essjay noted.

Prime comes to 2 drops per gallon.
Almost as concentrated as API Tap Water Conditioner, though the API one does have a higher dose rate for chloramine.
