Point No Point Light

Point No Point Light, at the northeastern tip of Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula near Hansville, remains an active aid to navigation and is widely regarded as Puget Sound’s oldest lighthouse. Built in 1879–1880 after a difficult land acquisition, it began service under makeshift conditions before its proper lantern and fifth-order Fresnel lens arrived. The station long depended on boat deliveries because no roads reached it for its first 40 years, and its fog signals, lens, tower, and lighting technology changed repeatedly over time. Automated in 1977 and later transferred to Kitsap County, it now anchors a county park, while the keeper’s quarters house the United States Lighthouse Society.
