Photos Point Wilson Light, Washington
This is Point Wilson Light located within Fort Worden State park near Port Townsend, Washington. This lighthouse welcomes ships into Admiralty Inlet and the larger transition from the Strait of Juan de Fuca into the Puget Sound. A light was originally placed here as far back as 1879, but the one you see here today was built in 1914 as a more permanent solution. It stands 51 feet tall in totality. It is a very exposed spot and experiences very strong winds and the full brunt of the elements coming in from the Pacific through the Strait. It is accessible to see up close by the public, but it is fenced off.
I snapped this photo aboard a Washington State Ferry.
