Skunk Bay Light
From lighthouses
Hansville, Washington
Built: 1965
This 30 foot tall octagonal wooden tower, attached to a one-story wooden replica of a fog signal building (which was expanded into a two bedroom living quarters in 1982) was built by author Jim Gibbs using plans of the Mukilteo Light. The lantern room was salvaged from the 1858 Smith Island Light, which was abandoned in 1957. This memorial light sits on a high bluff overlooking Skunk Bay, a bight of Admiralty Inlet. It is operated by the Skunk Bay Lighthouse Association as a private aid to navigation, and is not open to the public.
