MUKILTEO LITTLE LEAGUE HISTORY The Mukilteo Little League was formed as corporation in Washington State in 1977, although Little League Baseball, Incorporated's records indicate that Mukilteo Little League has been a chartered league since 1957. Mukilteo Little League is a separate league entity from Little League Baseball but obtains its tax exempt status through Little League Baseball's group exemption. This is a special way a 501 (c)(3) organization can achieve tax exempt status. However, we file tax returns annually and prove we meet the requirements of a nonprofit organization just like all other nonprofits.
