A major natural gas supplier is planning an expansion of its existing pipeline system along the Seattle Interstate-5 corridor.
The upgrade would send gas from Canada to a liquefied natural gas export terminal at Warrenton, Oregon.
The Williams company of Tulsa plans to install 136 miles of 36-inch diameter pipe.
The section is part of the company’s Northwest Pipeline region that supplies Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado with natural gas.
They also plan upgrades of compressor facilities at Sumas, Mount Vernon, Snohomish, Sumner and Chehalis.
Williams is seeking permits from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to begin the project.
