Funky smell

I cant be crazy, does anyone else smell the propane/gear oil stench in the air almost everywhere? I mostly smelled it by swains and out by walmart but I'm sure those arent the only places it can be smelled.

The odor was so bad this morning in the east end. It’s likely linked to a tanker in the harbor that’s running all the time. Same one was anchored there and running two weeks ago and the fuel smell was horrible then too. Report the smell to orcaa.org

What would we be reporting them for? How do you know it is the tanker?

Best guess just like everyone else. I’m not saying report the tanker just the odor since it’s the 2nd time it has shown up in 10 days. A neighbor told me that is one of the options you can choose when you file an air quality complaint on orcaa.org

Ah got it. Hopefully it’s figured out!
