Boundary Range Tower C, Washington

The international boundary comes to Point Roberts from the east, across the bay from Blaine, and hits the last of the range towers marking the boundary across the waters of the bay, known as Range Tower C. The base of the tower has a Boundary Commission plaque, like those found on some other structures that cross the line. The tower is at Maple Beach, a public swimming beach where people can swim in international waters, so long as they return to same side of the beach that they left from. Behind the tower, the boundary heads west across Point Roberts, between Roosevelt Road in the US, and the backs of houses in Canada.
