Mukilteo Community Guide

Explore Mukilteo

Where can you go for a woodsy trail hike, eat at a seaside restaurant and walk to see the sunset over Puget Sound, all within a couple of miles? Mukilteo offers that and more. Mukilteo played a crucial role in the history of Washington’s settlement as the site of the Treaty of Point Elliott. Today, Mukilteo is a small but thriving seaside center for recreation and dining and is the gateway to Whidbey Island via its busy ferry route.

Natural Surroundings

Hikers and trail runners know Mukilteo for the Japanese Gulch, a 147-acre park and trail system set within over 1,000 acres of a drainage basin. A lesser-known system to non-locals, the Big Gulch Trail is a 2.6-mile out-and-back trail through a deep rain-forest like environment. 

Head to Lighthouse Park to check out the 1950’s style lighthouse used during non-COVID times as a setting for wedding pictures and family portraits. The beach at the park is an excellent location to fly your beach kite and has water access for swimmers and boaters.
