Maritime Washington National Heritage Area is a federally designated National Heritage Area in the state of Washington. It encompasses nearly 3000 miles of the state's saltwater shorelines from Grays Harbor County to the Canadian border,[1] and includes 18 federally recognized tribes across 13 counties.[2][3] It aims to celebrate the cultures of both the indigenous peoples in their past and current forms, as well as the growth of maritime industry in the state.[4]

The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area was established in 2019. It is administered by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.[5] The Heritage Area is split into four geographic subdivisions: the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound, , and the Salish Sea Islands.[5]
