The Mukilteo Light Station is comprised of multiple properties built between 1906 and 1935. The Light Station is an exceptionally well preserved complex of buildings and structures and the assemblage, design and construction are typical of those produced by the federal Light House Board in the Pacific Northwest during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Fowler Pear Tree was planted as part of an orchard around 1863 by Jacob D. Fowler, who, with his partner Morris H. Frost, claimed as a homestead the major portion of the area which now comprises the town of Mukilteo. Fowler was the head of the first family, the first Postmaster, and the first merchant and trader in the town. This tree stands as a fine example of conservation and is a living part of the past history of the beginnings of Mukilteo.

Isaac Ingalls Stevens, first territorial Governor of Washington, promoted a series of treaties in the mid-1850’s with a number of Native American tribes. The purpose of the treaties was to cede Native American lands to the public domain of the United States. The Point Elliot Treaty was one of four signed with coast tribes. It affected the territory of 22 tribes west of the Cascades to Puget Sound and north of Tacoma to the Canadian border. Such important leaders as Sealth, Patkanim, Goliah, and Chow-Its-Hoots signed the treaty. However, the treaties were not successful and a central cause in the outbreak of the Indian wars in 1856. The precise location of the treaty signing is not known. Several locations have been named, but none seem to carry any more authority than another.
