Boston Harbor is an unincorporated community in Thurston County, Washington. C. B. Hillman, a Seattle real estate developer, platted the site in 1917 believing that it would be excellent for industrial development and easily reached by the mosquito fleet of steamships plying the Puget Sound. [ [http://home.earthlink.net/~waresearcher/placenames.html "Place names of Thurston County"] . Retrieved 8/3/08.] The community is home to the Dofflemyer Point Light, built in 1934 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
Location
It is located at the intersection of Pickering Passage and Dana Passage, with outlying parts also falling along Budd Inlet. It is located between Dover Point and Defflemyer Point, which is marked by a distinctive concrete lighthouse that is not accessible by land. [Mueller, M. and Mueller, T. (2006) "Afoot & Afloat South Puget Sound." The Mountaineers Books. p 265.] Boston Harbor is a formerly rural area that has now become an exurb of Olympia, Washington.
