The Mukilteo Pioneer Cemetery is located in an extremely picturesque location a few blocks up the hill and down the shoreline from the ferry landing and lighthouse in Mukilteo. The small cemetery is located right on the bluff with a panoramic (over 180°) view of Possession Sound and Whidbey Island, at 5th and Webster.
Information given here is from the December 1999 physical survey of the cemetery. For a few burials some additional (or conflicting) information was found on the above mentioned sign (also showing a burial map). When information is from the sign it will be given in [brackets]. In a third source an additional burial listing was found, it is shown at the end.
PLEASE NOTE: This file shows burials in the order found on the ground, not in alphabetical order.
