Historical Park
Jul 2021
Great piece of history here! We loved wondering around this old lighthouse, reading stories of times past, and ringing the old bell. Also, the picnic tables by the beach are a great place for a picnic lunch. The beach area had lots of children enjoying it on a super hot day. This is a great park and we will return!

Great Lighthouse Park with Excellent Information
May 2021
This is a park with a lighthouse and some of the buildings including the Keeper's House (Lighthouse Keeper), nice sculpture, good information including a Mukilteo Walking Tour done by an Eagle Scout. It is right by the Puget Sound and it is possible to take a ferry to Whiskey Sound, in fact we saw two ferries crossing in the midst of the sound. Getting on the ferry can be difficult in the evening or weekends so make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time. The lighthouse was not open when we visited but some have visited and been able to climb up the tower. It is a very peaceful place and there are restrooms available.

Sunny day lunch
Jan 2021 • Friends
My friend and I came down for lunch on a sunny January day. The park is well maintained. There are places to sit and eat, fire pits and great access to the beach. In addition there are the lighthouse grounds to walk.

Beauty Year-round
Feb 2020
I love Mukilteo Lighthouse Park for its peace and quiet sounds of the waves splashing into shore or photographing the lighthouse, sunset, ferries, and birds. It changes with the seasons, so I like to visit it year-round.

Feb 2020 • Family
The park was built in the 1950's there is a small walking trail and 6 large firepits on the beach. There is lots of pay parking.
First lit in 1906, the 38-foot tall Mukilteo Lighthouse is still in operation, helping not just ferries, but all the boats that ply the Salish Sea. The lighthouse and a modern fog signal were automated in 1979, and in 1981, a remote fog sensor was installed.

We know this is a "must do" in the area, do you?
Jan 2020
We go there so very often, and enjoy it every single time, during the day, or at night.
You can now to all the way from the "wedding circle" at the end of the paved trail to Edgewater Park in Everett. Yes, there is construction but it's amazing how fast they are building the new terminal. There is a gift shop at the lighthouse, open April to September. Parking is free for Mukilteo residents. Pick up a free brochure to learn about the sights along the way. The bus goes all the way to the present ferry terminal.

Mukilteo lighthouse Park
Aug 2019
I have been to the park many times over the years. I have been up into the lighthouse 3-4 times. It is interesting and a great place to take out of town guests. In August there is a Festival in the adjacent parking lot. The Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival is always fun to attend. This year we enjoyed the music, beer garden and fireworks. Also the thunder and lightening show that night.

Terrific day trip
Oct 2019
Mukilteo is a charming town; Lighthouse Park, a great place to spend an afternoon if not the day. Tour the lighthouse on weekends, enjoy walking the beach, relax on the lawns, let the kids hit the playground. Lots of little shops and eateries close by, the ferry landing is right there...ride it to Whidbey Island (another terrific place) or simply enjoy watching them go back and forth (more fun than you might think!) This is a great place to take visitors, to get a taste of Seattle life without a lot of commotion. Plenty of free parking.

Beautiful lighthouse with fabulous views
Oct 2019 • Family
At the Mukilteo ferry landing, it can be congested at times. Especially during the farmers’ market and on sunny days. Parking for residents of Mukilteo is free with permit. However, others must pay. The park is small but the views are beautiful. It’s a great place for pictures and you often see homecoming or prom groups taking photos here. Their is a playground and a sand volleyball court,Picnic shelters and fire pits.

Mukilteo Lighthouse Park
Sep 2019
One of the most accessible lighthouses that also has a seasonal giftshop. The lighthouse is open on weekends for tours and the park is one of the most used parks in the state, with a trail and several concrete fire pits but you bring your own wood. There is also a seasonal boat launch and a restaurant that serves ice cream cones year around and a ferry that takes you to Whidbey Island. There is an Ivars fish bar and restaurant across the street and if you really want to experience Mukilteo there is a hotel right next to Ivars. And a great play area for little ones.

Is there a covered area at the beach?

As the others have said, there is a very nice covered area.
The lighthouse is giving tours on the weekends only. Start at noon. Very interesting history about this spot. It is called Rose Point. Named by early explorers.
There are concrete fire rings so you can roast your hot dogs or do smores. BBQ's under the covered areas.

Hi Lighthouse Staff:
We are traveling from Spokane to Mulkiteo to meet another car from Tacoma. We are arriving Thursday afternoon July 28.
Can we reserve two parking spots?
How much does one spot cost?
What times does the afternoon ferry depart?
When should we arrive to be the ferry?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Joann b!

I do not believe there is a charge. Just bring some wood and build a fire on the beach. I've done so a couple of times and never questioned about it. You'll have to bring your own wood though.
do you have tours
