On May 10, 2005 our unit combined with others, establishing U. S. Coast Guard Sector Seattle. This is a significant strategic achievement that integrates command functions of Coast Guard Group Seattle, Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound , and Marine Safety Office Puget Sound under one operational commander to more effectively manage the sweeping changes to the Coast Guard’s operational environment that resulted from the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Sector Seattle issues permits for Marine Events in its Area of Responsibility. Additional Captain of the Port (COTP) Information is available in Homeport.
