Mukilteo Real Estate Agent: Emily Cressey

By Emily Cressey, Broker, HomePro Associates at Keller Williams Greater Seattle. Updated October 2026.

Mukilteo is one of the prettiest spots north of Seattle, with the lighthouse, the ferry to Whidbey Island and water views from the hill. I have listed homes here, including a top-floor condo in Harbour Pointe, and I know how much the view, the schools and the drive to Boeing matter to buyers.

If you are thinking about selling or buying in Mukilteo, I will give you a straight answer on price and timing.

Is Mukilteo the Best North Seattle Suburb?

Here is my tour of Mukilteo: the water, the golf, the lighthouse and the ferries.

What Is Mukilteo Really Like?

Mukilteo sits on a bluff above Puget Sound between Edmonds and Everett. The old town near the water has the lighthouse, the ferry terminal and a few restaurants. Up the hill, Harbour Pointe is a large planned neighborhood with a golf course, newer homes and shopping. Boeing’s Everett plant and Paine Field are right next door, so many residents can get to work without touching I-5.

The Lighthouse and the Ferry

Mukilteo Lighthouse Park is the heart of the waterfront, with a beach, picnic areas and the 1906 lighthouse. Every September the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival brings a parade, music and fireworks. The ferry to Clinton on Whidbey Island leaves from here, and the Sounder train stops a short walk away.

Trails and Parks

The Big Gulch and Japanese Gulch trails run through wooded ravines down toward the water. They are steep in places, but they are a great way to get outside without driving anywhere.

My Mukilteo Story

Mukilteo has a ferry dock, a lighthouse and a summer farmers market right by the water, but to me it has always been airplane country. One of my good childhood friends grew up on my street in Lake Forest Park, and her parents eventually moved up to Mukilteo. Her dad was a retired 747 pilot who kept consulting for Boeing, and he fit right in. Between the Boeing plant, a small airfield full of recreational pilots and Paine Field next door, a lot of aviation people call Mukilteo home. I believe his retirement party was at the aviation museum up by Paine Field.

Paine Field is also my favorite secret for flying out. My husband recently flew to San Francisco from there instead of SeaTac. No freeway traffic and no hour-long line to check a bag. You drive through the parking lot in a minute, walk across a terminal about the size of a living room and breeze through security. When I dropped him off, he texted me that he was sitting at the gate before I even got home, and we live 15 to 20 minutes away.

I’ve spent plenty of time here for work too. I’ve toured $2 million view homes looking out over Puget Sound with a buyer (they ended up buying in Picnic Point near Edmonds instead), held an open house in a Mukilteo townhouse, and recently sold a condo here for $340,000 that came with a beautiful pool.

Mukilteo is very residential, with one commercial strip down the middle of town, a couple of golf courses and a high school known for its sports teams. It’s not a pass-through town. You don’t end up here unless you live here or have business here, and that’s a big part of why it stays so peaceful.

Mukilteo Neighborhoods and Homes

• Old Town: older homes near the lighthouse, many with water views.
• Harbour Pointe: a planned community with newer homes, condos and a golf course.
• The hillside: view homes looking out to Whidbey Island and the Olympics.
• Near Paine Field: more modest homes and condos close to work.

How I Help Mukilteo Sellers

Mukilteo buyers often want views, schools and an easy drive to Boeing. I market all three, and I make sure the photos and description show your view accurately. I also price against the right part of town, because Old Town, Harbour Pointe and the hillside are different markets.

How I Sell Your Home: The A-PLUS Method

Every listing I take follows the same five steps. It is the system I wrote up in my free A-PLUS seller guide, and it is how I keep a sale organized when life is anything but.

Buying in Mukilteo

Mukilteo is a great fit if you work at Boeing or Paine Field, want water views or want a calmer suburb with strong schools. Check the flight path and visit at commute time before you write an offer.
