I’m always on the lookout for stunning locations that offer a blend of natural beauty, historical charm, and convenience for clients. Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, on the shores of Puget Sound, checks all those boxes. It is the perfect location for capturing your family and the beauty of the PNW in one!
Why Mukilteo Lighthouse Park Shines for Family Photography:
Scenic Variety: The Mukilteo Lighthouse has an iconic Pacific Northwest look. From its red roof with white brick exterior. To the framed green doors and windows. The lighthouse is the perfect background for family photos. I also love capturing families on the oversized historical porches of the nearby buildings. Playful familu shots on the grassy lawn surrounding the lighthouse are also a must.
Beach Access: A driftwood filled rocky beach is just steps away. The beach is a perfect spot for timeless Pacific Northwest family photos. From the shore we can watch for wildlife, throw rocks in the water & even capture a Washington State Ferry crossing.
Historical Charm: The lighthouse itself, built in 1906, adds a touch of history and nostalgia to your photos. It stands as a visual reminder of Mukilteo’s rich maritime heritage. While its unique architectural features make it an iconic backdrop for Seattle families.
Easy Access and Parking: Unlike most Washington State Lighthouses, Mukilteo Lighthouse Park is easily accessible with ample parking. Making it convenient for families with young children or elders.
Pet-Friendly: Your fur-babies are welcome to join at this location.
