The original light was replaced by a freestanding tower in 1951, which was discontinued around 2000 and replaced with a buoy light.[8] HistoryThe Slip Point Light was constructed to fill the {{convert|60|mi|adj=on}} gap between the Cape Flattery and Ediz Hook lights. Funds appropriated in 1900 were insufficient to complete the station as planned, so the first light was simply a lantern hung on the front of the building housing the fog signal.[2] This was first lit in September 1905; in 1916, a short square tower was built on the side of the building, its lantern housing a fourth-order clamshell Fresnel lens visible from the Canadian shore.[2] This building sat at some distance from the keeper's dwelling, a 1½-story house rather larger than the lighthouse proper and situated on the other side of the point.[2] Keepers had to cross a catwalk one-fifth of a mile in length to get from their quarters to the tend the light and fog building.[5] In 1951, a skeleton tower sheathed in white panels replaced the original fog house and tower. The structures were removed, although the catwalk remained, as the light was not automated until 1977.[2][8] Around 2000, this light was also discontinued, leaving only a buoy to mark the point.[2] The keeper's house is now used by the local sheriff's department, and the only other traces of the light are the concrete footings which once supported the catwalk.[2][8] The land is part of Clallam Bay Spit Community Beach County Park.[20] References1. ^{{cite gnis|1530587|Slip Point Lighthouse}} [3][4][5][6]2. ^{{cite map|url=http://historicalcharts.noaa.gov/historicals/preview/image/18460M-7-1998|publisher=NOAA|title=Strait of Juan de Fuca Entrance|year=1998|scale=1:100,000|id=Chart 18460}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite web|url=http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=124 |title=Slip Point, WA |publisher=LighthouseFriends |accessdate=May 8, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125033735/http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=124 |archivedate=January 25, 2012 |df= }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.uscg.mil/d13/img/lighthouses/docs/LIGHTS_PRO.doc |title=13th Coast Guard District Lighthouses |publisher=13th Coast Guard District |date=January 1996 |accessdate=May 25, 2015}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/wa.htm |title=Lighthouses of the United States: Washington |author=Rowlett, Russ |date=October 19, 2014 |publisher=University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill |accessdate=May 8, 2012}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.clallam.net/Parks/clallambayspit.html |title=Clallam Bay Spit |publisher=Clallam County Parks, Fair and Facilities Department |accessdate=May 25, 2015}} }}{{Lighthouses of Washington}} 6 : Lighthouses completed in 1916|Towers completed in 1916|Lighthouses completed in 1951|Towers completed in 1951|Lighthouses in Washington (state)|Transportation buildings and structures in Clallam County, Washington |
