Alki Point Lighthouse

As the West Coast was growing, it became necessary to light the waterways. Alki Point marked the southern approach to Seattle Harbor and was an important departure point for vessel venturing south on Puget Sound. After being marked with a post light since 1887, the Lighthouse Service established the Alki Point Lighthouse in 1913.
