Tanks headed to Alaska

2013-0529 tanks

Anyone who has driven along R Ave in the past month or so has probably spotted these four tanks as they have been built and painted near the corner of 22nd St & R Ave.

These tanks and the barge they're on are headed for Alaska's North Slope and Exxon-Mobil's natural gas development there. They will become part of the company's diesel storage facility. They've been built by Haskell Corporation of Bellingham.

They will be towed out of Fidalgo Bay sometime later this month.
