Kayak Point County Park is a county park near Warm Beach, in Snohomish County, Washington. The 670-acre park is located along Port Susan and includes a saltwater beach, a boat launch, a golf course, and public campgrounds. Kayak Point is the most popular county park in Snohomish County, and is mainly visited for recreational fishing, crabbing, and birdwatching. Kayak Point was home to a private, locally-run seaside resort from the 1920s to 1950s, named after a pair of Inuit kayaks brought to the resort from Alaska. In the 1960s, Atlantic Richfield proposed construction of an oil refinery at Kayak Point, purchasing 1,200 acres of land, and received approval from the county to re-zone the area for industrial use. Local residents opposed the refinery during public hearings and later filed a lawsuit against the county over its re-zoning decision, which was voided by the Washington Supreme Court in 1979 as an inequitable use of spot zoning. Atlantic Richfield later attempted to develop some of its land holdings into a master-planned residential community in the 1970s, but failed to receive county approval due to a lack of good roads and sewers. The county park was established in 1972, using waterfront property bought by the county government from Atlantic Richfield.
