Welcome to the District 13 Web Site

Welcome! We are the Thirteenth District of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. This is one of the largest districts, in geographical area, covering four states in the Pacific Northwest: Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. There are over 4,400 miles of shoreline from the mighty Pacific to lakes and navigable rivers. Our district is comprised of two sectors: Sector Puget Sound, Sector Columbia River.
Our responsibility to the U.S. Coast Guard, our Marine partners, and the boating public is that we carry out our number one job: Recreational Boating Safety (RBS)! Semper Paratus!
