Semiahmoo Harbor Light, Maritime lighthouse in Semiahmoo Bay, Washington, US.

The wooden octagonal lighthouse stood on piles above water, featuring a 1.5-story dwelling with a central lantern on its peaked roof.

Constructed in 1905 with a $25,000 budget, the lighthouse operated until 1944, guiding vessels through the Gulf of Georgia and Puget Sound.

The lighthouse design by U.S. Lighthouse Board Architect Carl Leick reflected similar architectural patterns used at the Desdemona Sands Lighthouse.

Visitors can observe the former lighthouse location by boat, where a modern navigation light tower now stands under Coast Guard maintenance.

The lighthouse utilized a Daboll trumpet fog signal system that consumed two gallons of oil during each activation period.

Location: Washington

Inception: 1905
