The Semiahmoo Harbor Lighthouse was a lighthouse on Semiahmoo (/ˌsɛmiˈɑːmoʊ/ SEM-ee-AH-moh) Bay near the port of Blaine, Whatcom County, Washington, in the United States.[1]
History
The station consisted of a 1½-story dwelling built on a platform supported by wooden piles, with a lantern at the center of its peaked roof.[1] It was constucted in 1905, using the same design by U.S. Lighthouse Board Architect Carl Leick used at the Desdemona Sands Lighthouse at the mouth of the Columbia River.[2][3] The light was deactivated and the entire structure torn down in 1944.[2][4][5]
