Welcome to The Working Waterfront

A publication dedicated to the people, places, and industries that sustain our coastal communities. We tell the stories behind the boats, the docks, and the livelihoods that shape life along the shore.

Current Issue Summer 2026

This issue of Working Waterfront features the people and businesses that make this region hum. From the story of a burgeoning seaside sauna spa, to a family oyster operation on Hood Canal, to a water-based academic program and 75 years of Washington State Ferries, this issue has something for everyone. Inside the cover, you'll hear from local experts, learn about historic traditions, and stories that showcase the community’s rich waterfront heritage.
