About Patos Island Marine State Park
Patos Island is the northernmost island of the San Juan Islands of the U.S. state of Washington. Since 1893, the small island has been home to the Patos Island Lighthouse, guiding vessels through Boundary Pass between Canada's Gulf Islands and the United States. It is the site of several border markers establishing the Canada–United States border on Haro Strait, following the settlement of disputes between 1859 and 1908. From 1939 to 1978, the island was owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard, with members manning both the lighthouse and the Coast Guard station full-time.
