Construction for the Garibaldi Coast Guard boathouse began in 1936 and became fully operational in June 1937. Having a pier extends 760 feet into Tillamook Bay on a series of over 100 individual pilings, the boathouse had space for two 36-foot motorized lifeboats and one 26-foot oar-powered surfboat to be rapidly launched. The boathouse and its crew first served the Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay in Garibaldi from 1943 to the early 1960s.
