- Discovery Park Beach and Highlands Loop (wta.org)
Hike through the relatively uncrowded southeast corner of the park, head up to the South Meadow for the views, then get down to the beaches and enjoy a close-up view of the West Point Lighthouse. You’ll come back up to the park highlands by a different route for a close look at old buildings in the Fort Lawton Historic District.
- West Point Light (Wikipedia)
The West Point Light, also known as the Discovery Park Lighthouse, is an active aid to navigation on Seattle, Washington’s West Point, which juts into Puget Sound and marks the northern extent of Elliott Bay. The lighthouse is similar in design to the Point No Point Light and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is a main feature of Seattle’s Discovery Park.
