BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Gas prices have jumped drastically after weeks of decline.
AAA says that the average price for a gallon of gas in Whatcom County is now $5.06.
Just a week ago, drivers were paying roughly $4.43 a gallon.
That’s a 63 cent difference.
The state average is slightly higher, at an even $5.10 as of Wednesday, September 28th.
AAA says that Hurricane Ian’s trajectory towards Florida is partly to blame for the rise in prices.
