Mukilteo Lighthouse Park Phase 1
Description:
The Mukilteo Lighthouse Park site is located on Puget Sound at the west end of historic downtown Mukilteo. The park will provide needed recreation opportunities for residents and also support a multiagency redevelopment effort underway from Mukilteo to Everett. Several local, state, and federal agencies are developing separate projects along the waterfront, and Lighthouse Park will enhance these efforts by providing improved recreation opportunities and other amenities that complement the planned redevelopment. Improvements to this 13 acre site will follow four development phases. This application requests funding for the first phase, which is scheduled to begin construction in Fall 2007. Phase 1 covers over four acres of the park and will include: open landscaped areas for passive recreation; sheltered picnic facilities; a children's play area; an interpretive program with displays and viewpoints; internal pathways; the first section of a waterfront promenade; a new restroom facility; and ADA access to the beach via a new parking and access area. These improvements will transform the site from a (formerly) state-owned facility to an urban park serving residents and area visitors arriving by ferry, car, train, bus, or bike. In addition to providing new and enhanced recreation opportunities for residents, the park will also provide a critical connection point to redevelopment efforts underway along the Mukilteo and Everett waterfronts.
