A leak in a major Pacific Northwest fuel pipeline could spell trouble for U.S. travelers during the busiest Thanksgiving week for air travel in the last 15 years.
The Olympic Pipeline, which connects an oil refinery near the Canadian border with terminals in Seattle, Tacoma, and other sites in Washington and Oregon, has been shut down since a leak was discovered on Nov. 11. The pipeline is a primary source of fuel for both Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Portland International Airport (PDX).
Since then, crews from BP, which operates the pipeline, have been unable to find the source of the leak, the Seattle Times reported. There is no estimated timeline for restoring the pipeline.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
