Dofflemyer Point Light, Automated lighthouse at Boston Harbor in Thurston County, United States.

The white concrete pyramidal tower stands 30 feet tall at the northeastern entrance of Budd Inlet, marking the southernmost light in Puget Sound.

The original light source from 1887 consisted of a simple pole lantern, which was replaced by the current concrete structure in 1934.

The lighthouse bears the name of Isaac Dofflemyer, who received the surrounding land through the Donation Land Claim Act of 1850.

While the lighthouse remains active under Coast Guard supervision, it sits on private property and cannot be accessed by visitors.

This structure represents Puget Sound's only unmanned lighthouse, operating through photoelectric cells with a light output of 1,500 candlepower.

Location: Thurston County

GPS coordinates: 47.14052,-122.90726
