Here's an interesting item:

It appears that the West Point lighthouse is being gifted by the USCG
to the Seattle Parks Dept.

This is an active and important light.

I wonder if the city plans to assume operation of the light or if the
USCG will continue to maintain the nav. aid. (Like nearly all lights
these days,I believe the West Point Light is fully automated)
