Mukilteo Lighhouse
Tommorrow I am visiting the West Point, Alki Point, and Mukilteo Lighthouses. I have planned to take notetaking items and write as the speakers give me the tour. I have prepared questions as well, just in case I have extra time to ask questions and speak with them. I am also taking my digital camera (like always!!!) so that I can take pictures of the lighthouses, the keepers, and the surrounding grounds. :-)

Final project update #1


I am very glad that I chose to do my final project on the lighthouses of Washington. So far I have been heavily researching the lighthouses to find out their hours of operation, times they have tours, if they are even open to the general public (many are not!!), and how far and how long it will take me to get there. I have been looking up ferry times and planning around my work schedule to figure out the best times to go visit and get lots of historical information and pictures!!

I called the keeper of the Point Robinson Lighthouse of Vashon Island and set up a meeting with him for this Wednesday and am planning on visiting the Alki Point, Mukilteo, and Admiralty Head Lighthouses as well on Tuesday and Wednesday.
