Capture The Sunset Over The Puget Sound at Picnic Point Park
Summer Sunset At Picnic Point Park
Picnic Point Park – Snohomish County
This park, just north of Lynnwood, inside the Mukilteo area provides a clear view of Puget Sound and the southern tip of Whidbey Island. In the distance the sun sets over the Olympic Mountain Range.
If you stand on the beach and look north you can see the regular ferry from Mukilteo to Clinton. Looking south you can watch the Edmunds ferry crossing the sound.
There are pinic tables and grills so get there early for a sunset BBQ.
Don’t expect to catch those late, after sunset pictures here though. The ranger closes the park promptly after the sun has officially set. Signs are posted requesting picnic and park users to return to their vehicles within 20 minutes of sunset.

* Wheel Chair Accessible *
Well, sort of. The path is step and you may need an extra push or motorized chair to get up to the train overpass. The concrete path takes you to the grassy picnic area, but there is no direct access to the beach along the pavement. There are still plenty of spots to use trees and elements to frame a nice sunset along the path.
