Seattle drivers are going further for gas as prices surge, and many are ending up on Tribal lands

Trump’s war in Iran has changed how many Americans go about their daily lives. With the national average edging closer to $5 a gallon, gas prices are now among the highest in recent history. One driver from Seattle shared that she has no choice but to head north of the city to the Tulalip Reservation just to access relatively cheaper fuel.

Junelle Lewis, a Seattle resident, revealed that at the Tulalip market, gas is priced at $4.84 a gallon — about 75 cents less than what she would typically pay closer to home. Lewis told AP, “I purposely drove here just for the gas.” She continued, “Gas is ridiculous. But honestly, over the years, this gas station specifically has been cheaper than a lot around here — probably the cheapest.”
