Mukilteo Light is a lighthouse in Snohomish County, Washington. Washington has 31 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow.

The tower stands about 38 feet tall (8th tallest of 23 measured in Washington); its light sits 33 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl W 5s (a white flash every 5 seconds); it guards Puget Sound; the structure is built of structural wood.

Status check, 2026-11: This wooden Carl Leick design was built starting in August 1905 and first lit March 1, 1906. Sources say either 1905 or 1906 for the build year, so the year is left null. The City of Mukilteo has owned it since 2001. Mukilteo Light is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 47.9486° N, 122.3060° W.
