It does make one wonder why Bellingham has the highest gas prices in Washington and there are at least three refineries with in 30 miles. Ferndale (Conoco-Phillips) Blaine (BP) and Anacortes (Shell).
Below is the link to the industrial premit and their allowable discharges in to our water ways. There use to be one of Puget Sounds major herring spawning areas in the flats near the refinery in Anacortes. The herring spawned on the eel grass on the flats.
