Standing guard over Boston Harbor, Washington since 1887, Dofflemyer Point Light is one of the Pacific Northwest’s enduring maritime beacons. This active aid to navigation continues guiding vessels through the southern reaches of Puget Sound, just as it has for over a century. The light station is not open to the public, so visitors cannot climb the tower, but it remains a rewarding sight from the surrounding shoreline. Golden hour offers the best photography, with warm light reflecting off the water. Nearby, explore the charming town of Olympia, the state capitol campus, and Percival Landing waterfront boardwalk. The Olympia Farmers Market and local breweries round out a memorable day trip.
