Point Wilson, Cape at the entrance to Admiralty Inlet in Port Townsend, United States

Point Wilson is a low, broad sand spit extending over half a mile into the water at the entrance to Admiralty Inlet from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is the northeasternmost point of Jefferson County, about two miles north of Port Townsend. The point is the site of the 1913 Point Wilson Lighthouse and a meteorological station.

A lighthouse was first built here in 1879 to guide ships through this critical maritime passage. The United States Lighthouse Service replaced it with the current structure in 1913 to improve navigation safety for the expanding shipping traffic.

The Chimakum called the point Kam-kam-ho and the S'Klallam called it Kam-Kum, names recorded for this spot at the entrance to Admiralty Inlet. The point lies about two miles north of Port Townsend's business district, within Fort Worden Historical State Park.

The visitor areas are accessible and offer walking paths with views of the waterways and surrounding grounds. Weather can change quickly here, so wearing layers and preparing for wind gusts is recommended for any visit.

The point's two indigenous names, Kam-kam-ho (Chimakum) and Kam-Kum (S'Klallam), predate European arrival; Juan Carrasco and Manuel Quimper reached it on July 5, 1790, and George Vancouver renamed it on June 5, 1792, after Captain George Wilson. A meteorological station still operates on the point.
