Bellingham, WA Maritime Lawyer

Bellingham Maritime Industry

The city of Bellingham, Washington, has a long, fruitful maritime history filled with successes in shipbuilding and repair, commercial fishing, and cargo activities. Sitting on the Bellingham Bay, less than 30 miles from the border of Canada and 50 miles from Vancouver, Bellingham is positioned well to maintain an active, productive waterfront. Today, the city’s waterfront is an industrial center that supports lumber processing, vessel husbanding, salmon canning, recreational boating, and other businesses.

The men and women working on and off the shores of Bellingham Bay make huge contributions to the local economy and community. However, the work of the maritime industry can be incredibly difficult and dangerous, as Puget Sound can be subject to hazardous conditions. It is the responsibility of maritime employers and vessels to put safeguards into place for protection of mariners. Jones Act seamen are a federally protected class of workers, as are longshoremen.
