The West Point Lighthouse, located in Discovery Park, Seattle, began operation in November 1881. Standing 23 feet high, it was the first manned lighthouse on Puget Sound and cost $25,000 to build. In 1985, after over 100 years of operation,it was the last light to be automated in Washington State. The original light was replaced with a modern beacon in 2004.
