Cape Flattery Light, Historical lighthouse on Tatoosh Island, Clallam County, United States.
The lighthouse features a 65-foot white brick tower with a black lantern and red roof, standing 165 feet above water level.
Construction began in 1854 under Ammi B. Young's designs, making it the third lighthouse in Washington Territory when first lit in 1857.
The lighthouse stands on Tatoosh Island, named after a Makah tribal chief, within the boundaries of the Makah Indian Reservation.
The lighthouse remains closed to visitors but can be observed from Cape Flattery through a thirty-minute walking trail requiring a Recreation Permit.
This structure holds the position of northwesternmost lighthouse on the West Coast of the contiguous United States, guiding ships into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
