Mukilteo: Boeing, Ferry Traffic, and a Sawmill Past
Mukilteo sits on a low bluff above Puget Sound in southwest Snohomish County. The city's name, from the Lushootseed word for "good camping ground," marks the site where the Point Elliott Treaty was signed in 1855 between the United States and 22 tribes of the Puget Sound region. The treaty site is now a city park next to the active Washington State Ferries terminal that provides service to Clinton on Whidbey Island.
The ferry terminal handles more than four million passengers per year and is one of the busiest in the state system. The associated traffic backs up along State Route 525 into the hills above town, a congestion issue the state addressed with the opening of a relocated and expanded terminal at the former Air Force tank farm site in 2020.
Paine Field, the regional airport immediately north of Mukilteo, hosts the Boeing Everett Factory, where Boeing assembles 767, 777, and 777X aircraft. The factory building covers 98.7 acres and is by volume the largest building in the world. Tours from the Future of Flight Aviation Center draw about 180,000 visitors annually. Paine Field also began commercial passenger service in 2019 through a private terminal, with flights on Alaska Airlines to a handful of West Coast destinations.
The Mukilteo Lighthouse, built in 1906 on Point Elliott, remains an active aid to navigation and a popular photograph spot. The Japanese Gulch ravine, preserved as a city park, contains the remains of a Japanese company town that housed sawmill workers from the early twentieth century through World War II. The Mukilteo School District extends well beyond city limits to cover parts of Everett and the Picnic Point area.
