Project Description

Budget: $600,000
Construction begins: Third Quarter 2008
Project complete:

This project provides for the restoration of the West Point Lighthouse located at the westerly tip of Discovery Park. In 2003, the Department of Parks and Recreation received permission to submit an application to the United States Department of Interior to acquire the West Point Light Station (Ordinance 121184). The Department was approved for the acquisition, and accepted the deed for the Lighthouse in 2006. This project was recommended by the West Point Citizens Advisory Committee (WPCAC) as part of the 2005 revision to the list of projects recommended in the 2004 Memorandum of Agreement between King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks and the City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation for use of mitigation funds pursuant to Section 1. (d) of the West Point Settlement Agreement (Ordinance 121488). This project brings the lighthouse into compliance with current building code and will facilitate ADA access. Hazardous material abatement will be conducted along with a general rehabilitation of the interior and exterior shell of the building.
