James Island (La Push, Washington)

James Island (Quileute: A-ka-lat - "Top of the Rock") is at the mouth of the Quillayute River near La Push, Washington.

The US Army Corps of Engineers separated it by rerouting the Quillayute River.

Today, the US Coast Guard operates an automated lighthouse and foghorn for boats using the harbor.

In 1966, James Island was removed from the Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
