Thanksgiving travelers can expect to pay a bit more at the gas pumps this year.

AAA reports the state average for a gallon of regular is about $2.99 with Whatcom County clocking in at about $3.04

That’s more than 40 cents above what we were paying a year ago and the current national average.

GasBuddy says drivers nationwide will see the highest average gas prices since 2014 during the busiest travel weekend of the year.
