Twenty-five years ago, the Olympic Pipeline ruptured in Bellingham, Washington, killing three people. In the aftermath, Washington state created its Citizens' Committee on Pipeline Safety, meant to advise on regulation to keep communities around pipelines safer.The committee still functions today, but Amanda McKay, who serves on it, said that increased interest and awareness of pipeline safety issues in the early 2000s has now fallen. Groups that advocate for pipeline safety and regulations, like her’s, want to change that.
