Status
Funded in 2010
WWRP Applicant: City of Mukilteo WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $412,850 Applicant Match: $412,850 Project Type: Development County: Snohomish  Legislative District: 21st 

Mukilteo will use this grant to develop the north end of the 15-acre Mukilteo Lighthouse Park. The city will expand the recreational and civic function of the park, integrate the historic lighthouse complex with the rest of the park, make the park entrance more inviting, and improve pedestrian access to and in the park. The improvements will include: entry arbors and picket fencing that defines the bounds of the lighthouse station; a plaza in front of the lighthouse; shade trees and shoreline plantings; a picnic shelter and band shell and restrooms; safe, accessible walkways within the lighthouse complex, along the waterfront and Front Street, and a section of a path to State Route 525; and interpretive signs that speak to the site’s rich natural and human history. The plaza will be closed to vehicles for events but otherwise provide a needed turnaround for trucks and buses. About 1 million people use the park each year. The city will contribute $500,000 in cash and cash donations. (08-1209)
