Japanese Gulch, Forest trail system in Mukilteo, Washington, United States.
Japanese Gulch contains a network of trails spanning 4 miles through woodland areas with an elevation gain of 174 feet to its peak at 363 feet.
The Mukilteo Lumber Company established operations in 1903, employing Japanese workers who resided in company housing, leading to the area's current name.
Local community efforts in 2014 resulted in purchasing 98 acres of land for public use, preventing industrial development and preserving natural habitats.
Visitors can access the trails from multiple points, including the Mukilteo dog park on 5th Street and the community garden at 76th and 44th intersection.
The railroad constructed through Japanese Gulch in 1968 features the steepest standard gauge incline in the United States at 5.6 percent.
