Point No Point (coordinates S.27;T.28N;R.2E) is an outcropping of land on the northeast point of the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington, the United States. It was the location of the signing of the Point No Point Treaty. It was named by Charles Wilkes during his 1841 expedition of Puget Sound. Named after Point No Point on the Hudson River (which is also called Dietrick's Hook), the point is home to the Point No Point Lighthouse. Wilkes likely gave the point its name as a result of a geological optical illusion. From the north and south, Point No Point appears to be a narrow spit of land, jutting into Puget Sound. However, viewed straight on from the east, the point vanishes.
