The Puyallup Tribe, Redline Tacoma, Green Party Tahoma, Save Tacoma Water, Tacoma Direct Action and others. Despite those efforts, construction moved ahead.

In solidarity with Olympia Stand blockaders, Standing Rock, Puyallup Water Warriors. Cynthia and Marilyn have demanded a jury trial to state their case about their reasons for locking down in protest of LNG at the Port of Tacoma. Please show your support for them at the courthouse. This will be a major moment for their trial.”
Here is a great article from Native Daily Network about their May 17th action at the Liquid Fracked Gas construction site.
“The LNG plant will hold 8 million gallons of supercooled (-260° F) gas. It will produce between 250,000 and 500,000 gallons a day. The 16-inch pipeline that will feed this gas to the facility is to be built as an extension of the current mainline. Construction is scheduled to begin soon and it’s path shows that the pipe will be laid close to a daycare, peoples homes and businesses. The 8 million gallon facility has the potential explosive force of 166 kilotons of TNT. That is the equivalent of over 11 Hiroshima bombs worth of power.”
