Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay is an active duty Coast Guard Station as well as a nationally recognized historic site.[2] A station has been operating in Tillamook Bay since 1908. The station was opened by the United States Life-saving Service a precursor agency to the United States Coast Guard. The current station has been in continuous operation since 1942.

In 1909 station crew rescued the complement of the coastal steam Argo.[2]

Over the July 4th weekend of 1980 Richard Dixon, the coxswain of a 44-foot Motor Lifeboat from the station was awarded the unusual honor of two Coast Guard Medals, for leading two daring rescues.[3][4]

The station was designated a historic site in 1983.
