The Trans Mountain Pipeline brings tar sands oil from Alberta to British Columbia. Its proposed expansion threatens to increase the volume of tar sands oil shipped through Washington State by 700%. This is oil that sinks when spilled in water, making cleanup extremely difficult. Washington communities and tribes are joining the resistance against this dirty project during a critical window where the company reconsiders its plans for this dangerous project.
