Mukilteo Lighthouse Park

The property is west and south of the Washington State Ferries terminal with ferry service to Clinton, Whidbey Island, and is bordered on the south and east by the BNSF Railway (formerly the Burlington Northern Railroad) mainline.

Whidbey Island lies across a narrow portion of Possession Sound and is easily visible from the shore.

In 2004, the City adopted a Lighthouse Park Master Plan[1] to make physical site improvements in four phases.

The artwork by Joe Gobin and James Madison, Tulalip Tribal carvers, indicates the significance of this site to many tribes, especially the Tulalip Tribes of Snohomish County, who lived at this location for over 1,000 years until European-American occupation in the mid-nineteenth century.

Lighthouse Park is also significant as Captain George Vancouver's naturalist landed a small craft on the shoreline on May 31, 1792.
