Mukilteo garden stories, continued.

Early today I wrote about the city park on Mukilteo's waterfront. I forgot the most interesting item... the Lighthouse and quarters park. Can't believe I did that. Sorry! So this will become the second part. The old Mukilteo Lighthouse is one of many in the state of Washington. It has had much work and restoration to the buildings and the adjoining grounds. It is one of the most photographed sites in the northwest. During the summer months, volunteers take interested persons on tours, you can even climb the narrow stairwell to the top where the beacon is stored. You can also take a look into the museum, that is carefully tended by community volunteers and donations are welcome. If you are lucky enough during your visit, you may even see a wedding or birthday in progress! The Lighthouse is together with the city park, making it easy for parking, beach trekking, eating and overall sightseeing. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon or the entire day. A small oasis in the northwest! My very favorite Lighthouse and park! Enjoy your visit!
