I add "County" only when I don't know the city.

, King county, Washington, United States
Seattle, King, Washington, United States.

Although I can understand how confusing it might be if the city and county
are the same.

Plus I'm not a fan of abbreviations so I spell "county" out. There might be
those who aren't sure what "Co." means.  It's a common abbreviation for
"company"....

The WA abbreviation for Washington state is also the abbreviation for
Western Australia and there's a town there with the same name as where I
live in Washington!
