About Mukilteo, Washington

Mukilteo is a city of 21,538 people in Snohomish County, on Possession Sound. People of the Snohomish Tribe kept a year-round village on the spit and salt marsh here. In 1792 George Vancouver anchored the Discovery offshore. The next day Lieutenant William Robert Broughton and the botanist Archibald Menzies went ashore and called the spot Rose Point for its wild roses. Charles Wilkes renamed it Point Elliott in 1841. On January 22, 1855, Governor Isaac Stevens met 82 Native leaders here, Chief Seattle among them, and they signed the Point Elliott Treaty. The tribes gave up their lands for reservations, cash and the right to keep hunting and fishing.

Morris Frost, a customs officer at Port Townsend, talked Jacob Fowler into opening a trading post and hotel with him, and the two settled here in 1860. Fowler began using the name Mukilteo, close to the old Lushootseed name. When Snohomish County was created on January 14, 1861, Mukilteo served as its temporary seat. That summer voters moved the seat to Snohomish, 17 to 10. Frost hoped Mukilteo would become the main port on the sound, but investors chose Everett instead. The town stayed small, and residents voted 223 to 137 to incorporate on April 29, 1947, with Alfred Tunem as the first mayor.

“It is lonesome up here and very quiet. Trade is very dull, but I live in hopes of it being better one of these days.”
Jacob Fowler, letter of 1860
  • Lager from Brewery GulchBrew master Jacob Barth opened one of Washington Territory's earliest breweries in 1870, in a ravine that came to be called Brewery Gulch. It became the Eagle Brewery in 1875, and Frost and Fowler were running it a year later. At its best it made about 15,000 gallons of lager a year, until fire destroyed it in 1882. A salmon cannery built by George Myers & Co. followed in 1877.
  • The lighthouse of 1906The Mukilteo lighthouse began operating in 1906 to guide the growing ship traffic, and it joined the National Register in 1977. The Coast Guard handed it to the city on August 19, 2001, but kept running the lights. The state park beside it became Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, which reopened in 2008 after $6.6 million in work.
  • Japanese Gulch and the millJapanese workers came to the mills after 1900 and built a Japantown in what is now Japanese Gulch. From 1903 to 1930 they and their families were a key part of town life. The Crown Lumber Company helped pay for the parks, the fire department and the water district, and at its peak it employed 250 men. The mill closed in 1930.
  • The 1930 powder blastThe gunpowder plant on the shore blew up after hours on September 17, 1930. The blast leveled or damaged dozens of homes, caused $500,000 in damage and was felt in downtown Everett. Eight people were hurt, but nobody died, and the plant was never rebuilt.
  • Ferries to Clinton since 1911The Island Transportation Company started passenger boats to Whidbey Island in 1911, and E. A. Brown began carrying cars by tug and barge in 1916. The Black Ball Line ran the route from 1926 until 1951, when Washington State Ferries bought the company. A new ferry terminal opened on the waterfront on December 29, 2020.
