Update on Mukilteo’s Light

By Sue Clark on Jan 15, 2009 in Updates Print This Post Print This Post

Good news on the story of the Mulkiteo Lighthouse and its Fresnel lens being possibly shut off. I received the following communication from LT Jon Lane, U.S. Coast Guard Thirteenth District Lighthouse Officer. The short and sweet answer on its status:

We just wrapped up our Mukilteo/Possession Sound waterway user survey a few days ago. We determined that a light at Mukilteo is necessary but not critical for safe navigation, therefore the light can operated as a private aid to navigation (PATON).

At this point the light is still being operated by the Coast Guard as an active federal aid to navigation.

Future plans include possibly transferring the light to a private entity for operation as a PATON or the Coast Guard may continue to operate it as a federal aid.
