1. Assistant Keeper's House Marker
The Keeper's House, designed by Carl W. Leick, was
built in 1905-1906 along with the lighthouse and other
light station buildings. Peter N. Christiansen,
Mukilteo's first lighthouse keeper, lived here with his
family until 1925. Christiansen had been given a
certificate of merit for rescuing men from a barge and
tug caught in a severe storm while he was assistant
keeper at the Turn Point Lighthouse. It is thought that
his appointment as Mukilteo keeper was "a reward for
his faithful services.” When Keeper Christiansen died
on October 5, 1925, his wife took over his duties until
E. A. Brooks was appointed as the second Mukilteo
Lighthouse keeper.
