Lime Kiln Light, Maritime lighthouse in San Juan Island, Washington, US
The white octagonal tower with black cupola and red roof stands 31 feet tall on Lime Kiln Point, overlooking Dead Man's Bay on San Juan Island.
Built between 1917 and 1919, the lighthouse station marks the last major navigational light established in Washington State, featuring a fourth-order Fresnel lens.
The lighthouse received its name from the limestone quarries of the 1860s, where workers produced mortar in kilns for regional construction projects.
The automated beacon emits white flashes every 10 seconds with a visibility range of 17 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the Haro Straits.
Marine researchers use the lighthouse location to study orca whales that frequent the surrounding waters of the Salish Sea.
