More than 18 million commercial and recreational boats are owned by U.S. citizens, and that means a lot of rope is necessary for docking, anchoring, towing, rigging, sail control, and fishing. In celebration of National Fishing and Boating Week, which runs from June 7-15, we’re shining a light on one of our valued supporters — Samson Rope.
At their manufacturing facility in Ferndale, Samson Rope produces a wide range of ropes for various industries. They know that no single rope can fill all commercial fishing needs. That’s why they manufacture specialized options like crab rope, longline, and purse seine line just to name a few.
As a company, they go beyond material production and offer training and certifications designed to share expertise and increase safety. They even provide a free rope user’s manual on their website to assist in rope selection, usage, handling, and retirement.
Samson Rope is also deeply committed to giving back to the communities they serve. They’ve forged strong partnerships, and contribute to several local Whatcom County non-profits. Their community giving focuses on key areas where they can make the most meaningful impact:
- Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
- Environmental Stewardship
- Enriching Children’s Lives
- Safe and Healthy Lifestyles
- Celebrating Diversity
Unity Care NW is proud to have Samson Rope as one of our Health Care Champion Sponsors. Their generous support helps make it possible for us to provide critical health care for individuals and families who would not otherwise be able to afford it.

Thank you, Samson Rope, for the many ways you uplift our community and happy National Fishing and Boating Week!
