Crude in & products out

Direction	Mode	Route	Point / origin	Products	Source
crude in	pipeline	Trans Mountain Pipeline / Puget Sound Pipeline lateral The refinery processes Canadian crude oil delivered via the Trans Mountain system's Puget Sound lateral into Washington refineries.	Alberta (Canadian) crude	crude	source
crude in	marine	Fidalgo Bay / March Point dock The refinery also processes Alaskan North Slope crude oil, delivered by tanker to its Fidalgo Bay location.	Alaska North Slope crude (tanker)	crude	source
products out	pipeline	Olympic Pipeline A DOE/OSTI supply-chain report lists the Anacortes refinery cluster (HF Sinclair Puget Sound + the neighboring Marathon Anacortes refinery) as feeding the Olympic Pipeline, which serves the Puget Sound/Portland corridor. Combined refining capacity feeding the pipeline is 648,200 bpd across four refineries.	Anacortes refinery cluster	gasoline distillate jet fuel	source

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
