Port Angeles Sticker - U.S. Coast Guard Air Station and Sector Field Office Port Angeles, Washington, vinyl sticker representing one of the most storied Coast Guard installations on the Pacific Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSemper Paratus on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where the Pacific Northwest's most demanding rescues begin and the Coast Guard's oldest air station still stands watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coast Guard's presence in Port Angeles traces back to August 1862, when the Revenue Cutter SHUBRICK became the first cutter home-ported on the Olympic Peninsula. The Air Station was commissioned on June 1, 1935, making it the first permanent Coast Guard Air Station on the Pacific Coast, chosen specifically for its strategic position guarding the Northwest coastline. During World War II, the station took on anti-submarine patrols, convoy escorts, and mountain land rescue operations. Today, operating as the Air Station and Sector Field Office under Sector Puget Sound, the command covers search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, homeland security, fisheries patrols, border interdiction, and mountain rescue missions in Olympic National Park. In a typical year, Port Angeles units conduct more than 400 search and rescue missions, saving dozens of lives and assisting hundreds of mariners across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the rugged northwestern Washington coast. This sticker carries that deep institutional identity in a clean, durable vinyl format suited for gear, vehicles, display boards, and personal collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: Coast Guard veterans and active-duty members stationed at Port Angeles, Sector Puget Sound alumni, maritime search and rescue enthusiasts, Pacific Northwest military collectors, families of Coasties who served on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, boating safety advocates, and anyone who wants to honor the oldest continuously operating Coast Guard air station on the Pacific Coast. It also makes a meaningful keepsake for supporters of MH-65 Dolphin crews, small boat station personnel, and the broader community that relies on Port Angeles guardsmen for safety on the water and in the mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver 160 years of watch-standing on the Olympic Peninsula, carried in every clean line of this sticker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":45466881949805,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":45466881982573,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_40_e50f2d18-a79e-4543-adc1-65307acc7bbd.png?v=1784215574","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-u-s-c-g-port-angeles-sticker","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
