Park History
Kayak Point's interesting history dates back to the turn of the century. In 1909, C. D. Hillman, a Seattle land developer, purchased 10,000 acres and brought visitors to Kayak from Seattle on a stern wheel boat. Hillman began an extensive campaign, advertising 5-acre parcels for $750 each, hoping that the 1909 Alaska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle would bring people to the area. Three docks and a boardwalk were built along the shore.
H. W. F. Kilian was one of the original purchasers of Hillman’s property. His son, Arthur, later built a resort. Two other sons mounted Eskimo kayaks from one of their Arctic expedition trips on the side of a building. The kayaks generated so much interest that the resort became known as Kayak Point. By 1967, the Richfield Oil Corporation had purchased 2,000 acres in the area which included Kayak Point. After Richfield Oil Corp. abandoned their plans for an oil refinery, Snohomish County purchased 670 acres in 1972 (with assistance from the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation) and developed the successful saltwater regional park you see.
