Background
Puget Sound Energy (PSE), Washington’s oldest energy utility, has begun construction of a US$310 million Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility at the Port of Tacoma. The project is expected to be completed and fully operational in 2021.[1]
The LNG facility will be used to fuel ships and provide natural gas to residential and commercial customers during peak cold weather demands. It will not be used for exports.[2]
The film "Ancestral Waters 2022" documents the Puyallup Tribe’s efforts to preserve its way of life, including its opposition to the LNG terminal.[4]
