Burrows Island Light, Lighthouse in Skagit County, United States
The white square tower of Burrows Island Light rises 34 feet high on the western tip of Burrows Island, facing the Rosario Strait near Anacortes.
Following mariners' petitions to Congress in February 1903, construction of the lighthouse began in May 1905 and the first light shone on April 1, 1906.
The Northwest Schooner Society manages restoration projects at the lighthouse site, addressing weather damage and maintaining the historical structures for future generations.
Modern optics replaced the original fourth-order Fresnel lens in 1972 when the lighthouse transitioned to automated operation with a helicopter landing pad.
The lighthouse employed an advanced fog signal system with a trumpet powered by two gasoline engines instead of traditional bells used at other coastal stations.
