Founded in 2002, Skagit Bay Search and Rescue (SBSAR) is a 501c3 non-profit, volunteer organization, formed under the auspices of the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office. Located in Anacortes and La Conner, Washington,  it is one of seven search and rescue organizations available for call out in an emergency in Skagit County.  We work closely with the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol Unit, local fire departments, US Coast Guard and other SAR authorities.

SBSAR relies primarily on donations from businesses, generous community members, and local events.
