Flotilla 2-2 Eastside operates out of Bellevue, WA. We are one of three flotillas in District 13, Division 2 which serves the Greater Seattle area. We are proud to work along side our Active Duty and Reserve counterparts in the areas of Recreational Boating Safety, Operations, Marine Safety, and Mission Support.

Established in 1939, the Auxiliary began as the Coast Guard Reserve. A volunteer civilian force that assisted in the promotion of recreational boating safety and assist in the operations of the Coast Guard. As part of the Coast Guard Reserve and Auxiliary Act of February 19, 1941, the civilian reserve was renamed the United State Coast Guard Auxiliary and a separate military reserve for the Coast Guard was established. To this day, the Auxiliary remains a uniform volunteer organization that assists the Coast Guard in non-military, non-law enforcement missions.
