Special effects.....just fog up your lens with your breath!
The Mukilteo Light Station has been in operation since March 1, 1906. If you've seen a lighthouse in the Pacific Northwest, chances are it was designed by Carl Leick of the United States Lighthouse Board. The 38 foot high lighthouse located next to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal is no exception. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The property was turned over to the City of Mukilteo in 2001, but the light, with its unique flash sequence of 2 seconds on, 3 seconds off, is still maintained as a navigational aid by the US Coast Guard. The lens of the light was originally made in France in 1852, and was installed here when the station converted to electricity in 1927.
