The lighthouse is located on Tatoosh Island, which is part of the Makah Indian Reservation.
Constructed in 1857, it is one of the earliest lighthouses built on the West Coast.
The lighthouse was deactivated in 2009, but its structure remains a historical landmark.
The lighthouse takes its name from Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States.
Tatoosh Island, where the lighthouse is situated, is part of the Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge, home to diverse marine life and seabirds.
Due to its location on Tatoosh Island, access is restricted, but it can be viewed from Cape Flattery Trail.
The lighthouse was automated in 1977, eliminating the need for a resident keeper.
