The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) consists of detector facilities in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA, USA, separated by 3000 km. Laser interferometry is used to monitor displacements of freely suspended mirrors, separated by 2 - 4 km, along perpendicular arms at each facility. The initial LIGO detector design sensitivity corresponds to measuring gravitational-wave induced differential displacements of order 1 millifermi over the 4-km arms. Progress in the commissioning and operation of these detectors will be reviewed.
