What's on Mukilteo's old negatives? Historical society to find out
MUKILTEO — Peter Anderson knows Mukilteo like the back of his hand.
As a director of the Mukilteo Historical Society, he can tell you about the lighthouse’s short-lived automatic foghorn. Short-lived because a rogue beam of moonlight could accidentally trigger the noisy horn.

Even for Anderson, there’s more to be understood about the town’s past. The society’s archive team (or “A-team”) catalogues old photos every year. But binders of old negatives have lingered untouched on a wooden shelf for years. The team doesn’t have the technology to process them or uncover the stories they hold.
That’ll change this year. With a $4,900 grant from the county, the society plans to buy fireproof storage for the negatives and the equipment to digitize them.
