Not quite as $$$ in all cases - YMMV
Hey Washington State newbie....welcome.
Have had numerous overnight SP experiences in Canada - all across Canada including Vancouver/Victoria areas. Average rate I have paid is far less than GL is quoting and far less than you see on some of their websites. I find combining a nice dinner and an event (movie of mutual agreement, hockey game, play or whatever) with an overnight works best. Have done this when flying solo and in need of a good chat without the strings of exchaning phone numbers and false promises the next day (IF there is a next morning).
My approach was always to approach the lady with the full details and get the mutual expectations on the table. A recent example in Toronto (advertised rate for SP is/was $300 per hour) included a dinner at Movenpick, a play and then a romp in my hotel followed by room service breakfast. The hotel cost was already as given as was in town for business so with dinner, play and romp, the total bill was less than $600 (CDN not those real dollars you will get to play with) so you can do the math. I will admit I had seen SP before AND it was not a night that would rank as her "busy" time.
My last o/n experience in BC was in Vancouver and cost a little bit more largely based upon a more expensive dinner and entertainment. Those you may optional but I think sex is FAR greater after talking to someone over a nice meal in a good atmosphere followed by a shared experience that can be discussed in the "down" time. On the otherhand, my other favourite are 30 minute wham-bams to there isn't much in between for Howie (there goes that third person thing again - gotta slap Howie, uh self, in face).
As them and see - that is best approach.
Good luck
