In this talk\, I present an overview of this effort\, including results of searches fo r signatures of the first two LIGO-triggered binary black hole mergers in the 2015-2016 observing campaign and status of the ongoing 2016-20 17 campaign. I will also discuss plans for upcoming seasons and long t erm prospects for this exciting emerging field: multi-messenger cosmol ogy with gravitational waves and optical data.
