Coast Guard Base Seattle, established in 1921, has served as a vital hub for United States Coast Guard operations in the Pacific Northwest. Strategically located on the Puget Sound, the base has supported a wide array of missions, including search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, and environmental protection. During World War II, the base played a crucial role in coastal defense and port security efforts. Today, CG Base Seattle continues to serve as the homeport for several major Coast Guard cutters and units, maintaining readiness to safeguard the region’s waterways and support national security objectives.
