The lantern room on top of the Admiralty Head lighthouse at Fort Casey State Park should look as it did a century ago when a crane lifts a new structure into place in June.
The Daily Herald reports (http://is.gd/sL7kMJ) shop students at high schools in Langley, Oak Harbor and Coupeville have been welding, grinding and buffing pieces - working from original plans from the Coast Guard.
The project is organized by volunteers who receive some money from the sale of special Washington license plates depicting lighthouses.
Metal, services and other supplies for the work were donated by Nichols Bros. Boat Builders of Freeland, Seaport Steel in Seattle and Simmons Glass of Langley.
