In 1778, explorer Capt. James Cook was visiting the northernmost tip of the Olympic Peninsula when an opening along the coast was mistaken for a harbor or passage, which "flattered" him. Thus he named the inlet Cape Flattery. The island of Tatoosh lies about a half mile off Cape Flattery and it is on this land – owned, in fact, by the Makah Indians and named in honor of an 18th Century chief – that Cape Flattery Lighthouse was built and first lit in 1857. Located at the northwestern-most point of the continental US, Tatoosh Island is still owned by the Makah Nation, though the lighthouse is owned and maintained by the US Coast Guard.
