Located at Fort Casey State Park in the Coupeville area of Whidbey
Island, Admiralty Head Lighthouse stands guard over Admiralty Inlet,
First built in 1890, then rebuilt in 1903, Admiralty Head was the last brick lighthouse designed by renowned German architect Carl Leick. During its later occupancy by the Army, the lighthouse was used as a training facility for the K-9 dog program. Although deactivated in 1922 and its lantern house moved to the New Dungeness Lighthouse in 1927, it has since been restored by the Washington State Parks. The lighthouse is kept open through a partnership between Washington State Parks and the Lighthouse Environmental Program (LEP).

Great looking lighthouse. We have friends living on Whidbey Island, and wonder if they have visited the lighthouse?
I am a huge fan of lighthouses!
That has to be one of the nicest lighthouses I've ever seen. What a jewel! And it's so good to hear it will continue to be a part of your landscape and that people will get to see up close what a treasure it is.
It's a beauty!
Lighthouses have a special beauty of their own. Your photos are lovely
Beautiful lighthouse, and photos of it!
Love your gorgeous new header, too!
