Washington Maritime Federation

The Washington Maritime Federation is an association of associations, comprised of maritime organizations and business organizations who have come together to support the industry. The maritime industry is diverse with subsectors in shipbuilding, fishing, water transportation, logistics and shipping and more. There are good organizations supporting these subsectors but no overarching entity supporting the industry as a whole. This new association of associations also includes general business organizations such as chambers and economic development councils.
