Security Zone, Sector Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a security zone in the navigable waters of Sector Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington. Security zones are established to protect persons, vessels, and facilities from potential security threats. This proposed rule would restrict vessel movement within the designated area unless authorized by the Coast Guard.

Affected parties including vessel operators, maritime facilities, and other waterway users in the Puget Sound area should review the proposed boundaries and submit comments if they have concerns about operational impacts. Once finalized, violation of security zone restrictions may result in civil penalties or other enforcement action.
