Point Wilson Light, Wooden lighthouse in Jefferson County, United States
The Point Wilson lighthouse stands 14 meters tall at the entrance of Puget Sound, featuring an octagonal tower made of reinforced concrete and lumber materials.
Built in 1879 by the United States Lighthouse Service, the structure underwent major reconstruction in 1914 due to coastal erosion affecting the original building.
The lighthouse represents the maritime navigation heritage of the Pacific Northwest, marking the passage between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds through Fort Worden State Park, with the beacon emitting alternating white and red lights visible from 16 nautical miles.
The structure maintains its original fourth-order Fresnel lens from 1879, making it the tallest operational lighthouse in the Puget Sound region.
