Quick Summary: Mukilteo is a picturesque coastal city in Snohomish County, Washington on Puget Sound, about 25 miles from Seattle. What was once a small fishing village overlooking scenic Puget Sound is today one of Seattle's affluent bedroom communities and a favorite weekend destination. The most popular attractions are the historic 1906 Mukilteo Lighthouse surrounded by Mukilteo State Park, The Future of Flight Aviation Center with the tour of the Boeing commercial jet assembly, and the Historic Flight Foundation museum with a collection of the most significant aircraft built between 1927 and 1957. Mukilteo is a 45-minute day trip from Seattle (25.7 miles via I-5 N and WA-525 N).
