Not sure what the vaccination rate was back in February but I suspect that the majority of people were still unvaccinated, as was the case here. The fact that 905 people died after being fully vaccinated isn't very encouraging.
In Ontario, 100% of people aged 80 and over are vaccinated, something like 97% of 70 to 79 year olds. These age groups still represent the vast majority of deaths "with" covid in our province.
Here's December 2021 then. Hospitalizations 10 times higher and more in the unvaccinated.

That's totally irrelevant.
It seemed pretty relevant when you replied to OP's post.
What changed? Has Washington State become so different from Ontario?
Besides, you're probably too busy celebrating all those lives that will be saved by cancelling the higher risk and non-critical cancer, heart, joint replacement, and other surgeries...https://www.cp24.com/news/directive-suspending-non-urgent-surgeries-and-procedures-will-also-apply-to-clinics-outside-of-hospitals-1.5728990
The issue is lumping "unvaccinated" deaths from February when about 5% of the state was fully vaccinated and there was a different variant circulating. Given what we know about comorbidities many of these "unvaccinated" people who died may still have died had they been vaccinated.
You were doubting the value of the numbers from February because vaccination was new, and the percentage high for the unvaccinated. So I gave you the numbers from December when that was no longer an issue. Result? Hospitalizations 10 times higher and more in the unvaccinated.

Old people should get vaccinated. The vaccine isn't nearly as good as we're being told, but it's better than nothing.
