Mukilteo Lighthouse IV

I had just gotten off the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry run, this is the front view of the Mukilteo Lighthouse.

In 1901, the Lighthouse Board determined a lighthouse was needed at the point to help direct ships into the Everett area. Construction began in 1905 using a C.W. Leick design that was also used for the Ediz Hook (1908) lighthouse and the second light at Cape Arago, Oregon. Built on a 2.6-acre site, the 38-foot-tall lighthouse was equipped with a fourth-order Fresnel lens manufactured by L. Suatter & CIE of Paris. The lighthouses's wood-frame construction is fairly unique as several similar lighthouses, such as Lime Kiln and Alki Point, were built of concrete or brick.
