‘His eyes were as big as saucers.’ Remembering the Whatcom Creek explosion

"It's not an easy story to tell." That's the way host Chris Morgan introduces a recent episode of his podcast "The Wild." The focus is a terrible accident that occurred 26 years ago, on June 10, 1999, in Bellingham, Washington. The Olympic Pipeline explosion killed three boys and destroyed a large swath of the Whatcom Creek Watershed. KUOW’s Kim Malcolm talked to Morgan about what happened and the recovery process.
