53- The Two Lighthouses of Admiralty Head

The History Of The Evergreen State

This lighthouse, built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1903 and located in Fort Casey State Park near Coupeville on beautiful Whidbey Island, is one of the most visited attractions in the Evergreen state.
Located high on a cliff 127 feet above sea level, the beacon served as a vital nautical guide for ships entering Admiralty Inlet from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The beacon was decommissioned in 1996. It took the place of the Red Bluff Lighthouse, a wooden structure in the Cape Cod style that was completed in 1861.
