With scenic Possession Sound views, Old Town Mukilteo is a community that’s rich in history and amenities. Kristy LaVigne, broker and owner of Better Homes & Properties, says, “Throughout Old Town, there’s an eclectic mix of homes … The area is very walkable and friendly, and it has a hometown type of feel.” She continues to say that residents have great proximity to many amenities, “But you still feel like you’re living in a small town.” The old town area is famous for its historic lighthouse that was built over 100 years ago, which adds to the picturesque nature of the community. Homes throughout this area can be priced higher than surrounding Mukilteo neighborhoods like Harbour Pointe, with home prices starting at $700,000 and reaching up to $2 million for homes with unobstructed water views and spacious floor plans. Homes throughout the community reflect various housing styles, from midcentury ramblers to newly built contemporary properties.

Public schools in the Mukilteo School District are a big draw for parents, with many children starting their education at Mukilteo Elementary School, which offers special education services and the Mukilteo Behavior Support Center. Students will then attend Olympic Middle School and Kamiak High School afterward. Kamiak High is an A-rated school, according to Niche, offering a wealth of academic programs and extracurriculars, including social clubs ranging from a book club to the Gauntlet newspaper that gives students an early taste of the newsroom.

Old Town is a quaint, small community, but it is chock full of amenities, with many residents a short walk or bike ride away from the expansive Lighthouse Park. A popular spot for locals and tourists coming to the area, this park is perfect for a relaxing afternoon watching the ferries come back and forth from Whidbey Island or watching the sunset while staying warm by the fire pit. Many of the city’s events take place at or around the park, as well, including the annual Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival, complete with a parade, performances and plenty of good eats and shops. The community also borders the expansive Japanese Gulch Conservation Area, with several hiking trails that take you through a vast forest landscape.

After spending the afternoon at Lighthouse Park, grab dinner at Diamond Knot, which offers pub grub and regional beers and ciders. Old Town is home to several locally loved eateries, including Ivar’s Mukilteo Landing, where you can eat tasty seafood with dazzling waterfront views. You can get a morning pick-me-up from Red Cup Café, a popular spot among locals for its breakfast and lunch menu items and cozy environment. If you want to unwind with some friends after a long week, head to Turning Paige for casual dining and a great view.

Convenient access to major roadways gives commuters and travelers an easy way to Everett or Seattle, and residents are also close to the Mukilteo station for Sound Transit. With so many conveniences nearby and the wealth of natural beauty surrounding the neighborhood, it's clear to see why Old Town Mukilteo is one of the most sought-after places to live.
