Semiahmoo Bay

The bay is named for the Semiahmoo First Nation, who originally occupied the area.

The Semiahmoo Peninsula borders the bay and was home to cannery operations.

From the north to south, the following communities and places are located on its shore: Blaine's Drayton Harbor opens into Semiahmoo Bay; the harbor is separated from the main body of the bay by Semiahmoo Spit.

The Washington State Department of Ecology classified the marine waters within Semiahmoo Bay, outside of Drayton Harbor, as extraordinary quality waters for (1) salmonid and other fish migration, rearing, and spawning; (2) clam, oyster, and mussel rearing and spawning; and (3) crustaceans and other shellfish (crabs, shrimp, crayfish, and scallops) rearing and spawning.
