Weren’t there several killed by an explosion at this same facility a few years ago? The name is familiar.

I looked on www.nwcn.com news site, nothing yet. Hwy 2 closed up near Leavenworth due to forest fires though.

I live just a couple of miles across the water from Tesoro. I noticed the smoke but none of their alarm sirens have gone off. You can easily hear those for 15-20 miles. That refinery was built in the mid-50s as a Shell refinery.

I worked at that refinery in 1980 but then it was owned by Texaco and they filmed several Bob “for Texaco” Hope commercials there.

It was old then and we were there to replace and repair damage that was done by an explosion in the catalyst cracker. The enviroweenies have got this country by the balls and will stop every effort to employ new technology and build modern refineries. That is why we continue to see these problems...
