Bellingham and Anacortes are important to the fishing, crabbing and merchant marine maritime industries. We have many clients who either reside in Bellingham or Anacortes, or have been injured while working aboard vessels temporarily or permanently moored at Bellingham or Anacortes.

Anacortes is both home to many small to medium trawling vessels, seiners, crabbers and, of course, large, ocean-going vessels and tugs servicing the refinery and maritime shipping. Many employees of major maritime employers, as well as employees of smaller owner/operator vessels, live and work in Anacortes.

We are frequently involved in matters involving vessels, employers and employees in Anacortes and, as often as twice a week, are in the Anacortes area. In Anacortes, we have met with clients at the address stated above, at personal residences and, yes, even at the Starbucks.

While Anacortes has many fine medical facilities, we are often involved in assisting clients with more difficult medical conditions in finding a physician or health care provider in Seattle, or in obtaining a second opinion for a specific medical condition, in Seattle. In appropriate cases, we will obtain payment for a second opinion from a Seattle-based medical facility, from the employer or insurance representative, or, depending upon the case, we may be able to advance, as a case cost, the expense of a second, Seattle-based opinion.

Call us for a no-obligation initial telephone consultation.
