The Mukilteo Light Station, nestled on the shores of Puget Sound in Mukilteo, Washington, is a beacon of maritime history and architectural charm. Constructed in 1905-1906, this iconic lighthouse was established to guide ships through the bustling waters of the Sound during a period of rapid growth in the Pacific Northwest. Its white octagonal tower, standing 38 feet tall, is paired with a red-roofed keeper's house, embodying classic early 20th-century lighthouse design. The light station played a critical role in aiding navigation, especially as trade and passenger routes expanded in the region. Automated in 1979, the lighthouse continues to shine as a symbol of Mukilteo's maritime heritage, The Mukilteo Light Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
