Pictures by you: Mukilteo Lighthouse
I was just browsing through our Metroblogging Seattle pool, and came across this photo of the Mukilteo Lighthouse. No one runs the lighthouse now; it’s an attraction and the centerpiece of the park, since, I suppose, modern navigational systems have replaced the need for lighthouses. The first guy to run it, in 1906, was awarded the post because he helped save a tugboat crew that had run aground. The last one was a Coast Guard Boatswain, who left when the light station was closed in 1990 [historylink]. Still, it’s awfully pretty.
Awesome pic, and a nifty piece of history! :-)
Lovely.
