An early 20th century resort converted to a county park that now has 21st century yurts to stay in. You’re apt to see lots of people fishing and crabbing off the pier, or simply enjoying the 3,300 feet of public shoreline. The County Parks Department purchased and developed the site with Snohomish County’s first park bond issue.

Natural History: In the early 1900s the Kilian family developed a resort at Kayak Point. Two of the sons from this family kept Inuit kayaks, from one of their Arctic expedition trips, at the beach. Later, the kayaks were mounted on display: this generated so much attention that the resort became known as Kayak Point.
