About this map

Possession Sound separates the mainland from the southeastern shores of Whidbey Island in this coastal survey, which incorporates revisions from the early 1970s. On the island side, the settlements of Clinton, Columbia Beach, and Glendale line the shore, connected to the mainland via a ferry route. The mainland is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of Paine Field Air Force Base, showing a network of runways and support buildings north of Stickney Lake.

The shoreline at Mukilteo is a focal point of activity, featuring the Mukilteo Lighthouse at Elliot Point and the Mukilteo State Park. Local transportation and industry are defined by the Burlington Northern railroad hugging the coast and roads like Casino Road and Chennault Beach Road branching inland. Deep terrain features like Big Gulch and Powder Mill Gulch cut through the coastal bluffs, while residential growth is evidenced by the Fairmount School and established neighborhoods like Darlington and Edgewater.
