San Juan Island, Washington

Cattle Point Lighthouse

Cattle Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse on San Juan Island, in the Haro Straits of
Washington. Its first light was a lens lantern on a post erected in 1888. In 1921,
the US Navy installed a radio compass station.

The modern 34 foot, octagonal, concrete tower on Cattle Point was erected in 1935.
The lighthouse received a temporary makeover in 1984, when it was used as a backdrop for an Exxon television commercial.

As of 2013, the light is part of the San Juan Islands National Monument
