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.[3][4] The lighthouse is similar in design to the Point No Point Light and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[5] It is a main feature of Seattle's Discovery Park.
