Washington State’s 93* Historic Fire Lookouts

*In 2019 I completed a several year journey to visit and photograph all of Washington State’s remaining historic fire lookouts. How many are there? The answer is unclear. Not including relocated or rebuilt lookouts, a popular Peakbagger list contains 93 lookouts still standing in their original locations across the State, featured below. Some think there are a few that don’t count and others think there are more. Regardless, it’s fun to visit these structures and make your own opinion. Lookouts are often threatened by neglect, vandalism, and nature so please treat them with respect and advocate for their preservation!
