The next time you come across the Baileys Harbor Range Lights you’ll know that a non-profit organization in the state of Washington is contributing to its upkeep. Ridges Sanctuary was awarded a $1,000 Emergency Relief Grant by the United States Lighthouse Society, a historical and educational organization based out of Hansville, WA. Ridges has plans to put the grant toward maintenance and utility costs that come with operating the range lights.
Ridges Sanctuary Executive Director Andy Gill stated in a press release that the lights have played a critical role in the history of Baileys Harbor. There were 35 of these USLHS grants given out to organizations around the country.
