Mukilteo is a beautiful city located in Snohomish County, Washington. This scenic area is on the shore of Puget Sound, located approximately 25 miles north of Seattle, and is the site of a major Washington State Ferries terminal linking it across the water to Clinton, on Whidbey Island. It offers views of the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Northern Cascade Mountains to the north and east. Mukilteo is well known for its historic 1906 Lighthouse Station and the annual Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival. Many people have moved to the area because of the first-rate Mukilteo school system, and Mukilteo students consistently score well in annual achievement tests and win academic honors. The Future of Flight Museum and the Boeing Tour are also huge attractions of this fantastic city.

Mukilteo State Park is an unofficial state park that encompasses the lighthouse at the west end of the city of Mukilteo, Washington and 14.4 acres (0.058 km2) south of it. The property is west and south of the Washington State Ferries terminal with ferry service to Whidbey Island and is crossed by the Burlington Northern Mainline. The island, which is easily visible from the shore, lies across a narrow portion of Possession Sound.

This park is now known as Mukilteo Lighthouse Park. The former Washington State Park was deeded to the City in 2003. In 2004, the City adopted a Lighthouse Park Master Plan to make physical improvements to the approximately site. Phase I of the Plan is scheduled to begin in October 2007.

Mukilteo State Park has about 1,500 feet (460 m) of sandy beach and includes a public boat launch, lighthouse and dock. This is one of the most easily accessed shorelines in urban Snohomish County.
