The art deco pillar of Browns Point Lighthouse marks the entrance into Commencement Bay and the Port of Tacoma. The lighthouse looks little like the classic image of such structures, but there is also a lighthouse keeper's cottage and outbuildings in more typical Coast Guard style. The grounds provide a favorite park for watching ships on Southern Puget Sound and a good view of the Tacoma skyline.
